Triangle
Hi Mudder. No, of course we were not stranded in the triangle, just poetic license regarding 11 nights on the Regent's Navigator as we ploughed through gale force winds and 60/70' waves. When we arrived at Hamilton after 6 nights, some folks with good sense and fat wallets, abandoned the ship and flew off. The rest of us sorry lot got back aboard (many of the side trips had been cancelled as Navigator arrived too late) thus we endured further nights and days on even higher waves. It was SO rough, some people in the dining room fell backwards off their chairs when the ship wallowed, and had dinner ware and food land on top of them. Another couple from TV were also on board and I will contact them as we exchanged cards (of misery) They can confirm that we were asked by the captain to remain in our suites as it was too dangerous to venture out. Elevators were closed of course - way too dangerous. Access to decks was similarly denied. Hubby and I were only two of five passengers for breakfast when this picture was taken. Note how we are clutching the table/table wear. Dramamine was available at reception for the many passengers too sick to leave their cabins. Mercifully, me and hubby were fine. It was a trip with stories to dine on for many years. I hope our host is able to get some sort of reimbursement as there were so many disappointments. On the flip side, I have wonderul photographs. Proof is in the pudding. Here are two shots of the ship's boutique.....
