Rare xpcdoojk Posted June 4, 2010 #227 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Paul great story! I, too, ignored this thread. Since it coincided with the Holiday, and I have been very busy, and have only read a very limited amount of stuff. Fortunately, for me some folks on another site whose opinions I trust were raving about it and I clicked the link to this thread. You are a good man. I hope to buy you a beer some day while on a holiday. your friend jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzeena Posted June 4, 2010 #228 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Thanks for the kudos, folks. I'm an investigator by profession, so I just couldn't pass up this challenge. I've got everything identified so far except the "who." I'm hoping to find one person with Aruban connections. Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to book a trip to Aruba! :D Great job! I lost my camera in March, in puerto Rico. I was on the Explorer of the Seas, on my way to Bayonne, from a 12 night Southern Caribbean cruise. The camera was lost somewhere on a tour bus in the port area. It is a silver canon digital camera with pictures from my cruise : St. Thomas, St. Maartin, Dominica, Barbados, Antigua. PLEASE if ANYONE knows anything about such camera let me know. It was my first cruise ever and no pictures!:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted June 4, 2010 Author #229 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I did a little math on this one. Following the Loop Current from Aruba, up past Central America and Mexico, looping through the Gulf, the distance is about 1800 miles. 6 months is roughly 4320 hours. The Loop Current travels about 1-2 mph. The math does work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenfever Posted June 4, 2010 #230 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I have to add another comment to this thread............because my husband and I had the pleasure of cruising with Paul and his lovely wife Tina last November on Radiance. What a great couple. Paul is a very warm, personable and caring individual that it didn't surprise me at all when I started reading his thread as to how far he would actually go to find the owners. The world needs more people like you Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world needs more people like you Paul. Here, here! I can second this. I had the pleasure of cruising with Paul on the Solstice last year. He has a heart of gold. Although, I know his background, so I wouldn't want to be on his bad side. ;) Hi, Paul! Say hi to Tina for me! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiserChloe Posted June 10, 2010 #246 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hey Paul, I just watched your video again and read the 100+ comments on it. Were you aware this is front-page news in Holland, Hungary, Australia, and Japan? :eek: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted June 10, 2010 Author #247 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thanks, Chloe. Yes, I did see that. The views jumped from 17,000 to 82,000 in 24 hours, so I figured it made news somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipflopfun Posted June 10, 2010 #248 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Just a bit of an update here. I spoke with the camera's owner on the phone today. We are going to meet up in late July here in Key West. I'm really looking forward to it! :) Wow, what a friendship this will form !!! Just amazing. I just read the whole thread now and watched the video. I must have been living under a rock or something for the last 2 weeks !!!! I have emailed my husband a brief summary, I know he will be impressed and will look it all up later. What a reminder to us all to do something nice for others. You REALLY went all out, but we all need to remember that little things matter too!!!! I have been to Key West and to Aruba. It is great to have reference in my mind to bring this story to life. I have even been snorkeling at one of the sunken shipwrecks in Aruba. I hope the reunion between you both goes well. Like everyone else has already said, way to go!!!!! I applaud you and your determination. Maybe one day we will be lucky enough to be on the same cruise ! Thanks for making my day ! Danette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquahound Posted June 11, 2010 Author #250 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Thanks, Michele. I had not seen those two links yet. I'm curious.....has anyone across the pond heard my BBC interview? I want to know if it sounded ok, or if I sounded like a tool. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
