jenwright1 Posted January 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I just heard the USCG side of a conversation with the Magic. Apparently a woman broke her femur and the CG doesn't think that it's safe to do a hoist with the helicopter, so the ship must return to port. They're only 10 miles out and from what I can see on AIS, there's a pilot about to board them and bring them back in. Love having a VHF radio at work.

jenwright1 Posted January 29, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted January 29, 2012 VHF marine radio. Heard the CG calling the Magic on Ch. 16, then when they swapped to Ch. 22 I could only hear the CG's side of the conversation. I'm in Freeport, Tx, just about 40 miles away from Galveston.

Lisl123 Posted January 30, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Poor lady! We had to wait in port once when a guy slipped and fell right after reboarding in St. Thomas. Hit his head on the elevator door or floor (it was a head and neck thing and involved the elevator anyway) ... it always makes me feel so bad for people who get hurt on vacation. I fell down the stairs on the Victory after muster while carrying my 7 mo old - twisted my ankle and protected his precious little (ok enormous) head ... we were ok, but it is very scary to get hurt onboard - even when only a little way offshore. I'm glad the company errs to the side of safety and returns to port when these things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistycruiser Posted January 30, 2012 #8 Share Posted January 30, 2012 My daughter is on this cruise and she just called me to let me know they were returning to port. I told her it was due to someone breaking a leg. Hope the passenger is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsAllAboutTheSass Posted January 30, 2012 #17 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I know they are returning to port but did they leave late again today? EDIT: Is she backing in it looks like? Yes, because of her size, she can't turn where Conquest did. She has to turn further down the harbor and back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5waldos Posted January 30, 2012 #21 Share Posted January 30, 2012 So sad- planning for months, looking forward to it for who knows how long, and 2 hours out you have an accident- I really feel sorry for this person and whoever they are with. Hope it is not terribly serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
