tripperva Posted January 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Last night around 10pm,not far from Cuba, Mariner crew were aware of a Mayday near our shipping lane. They turned around the ship and started a search in the dark,eventually locating a fishing boat adrift. Two men were rescued having been six days without fuel,food or adequate water. They were brought aboard and given medical treatment,food etc and are now with Us until Miami docking Saturday. A good rescue by Regent! And I don't think there will be any complaints from the survivors about the variety of issues currently on the Mariner.Maybe they will get a good table in Compass Rose tonight!

JPR Posted January 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I wonder if they could be Cuban refugees... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedC Posted January 29, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Probably Cuban or possibly Haitian! So glad they were rescued and I am sure they had very good care on Mariner. However, it's likely they could be sent back to their home land. Edited January 29, 2014 by TedC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripperva Posted January 30, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted January 30, 2014 They were from Bahamas and were scheduled to be sent home from Miami after Mariner arrived. But no doubt about it, the alert crew on bridge saved these two men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
