Mysterious stop for Galaxy?

[trcori]

We were remarking on our roll-call thread (Galaxy this Saturday) this morning that the seas for Galaxy looked unusually calm. It's a sea day, after Montego Bay yesterday, first of two sea days en route back to Galveston.

 

Well, from what I can tell via the Web cam archives now, it was so calm -- because Galaxy was stopped! There is one frame at 8:05 ship time this morning showing a small boat pulled up alongside. The boat takes off around 8:12. A fair number of people are on the railing watching whatever is going on. By 8:20, the boat and the lookyloos have moved on -- then in the frame at 8:50 am, it looks like land is in sight.

 

Finally in the 9:44 am frame, the ship is clearly moving again, with white water on the side. Could they have gone to the nearest island for a medical problem? Or? Anyone have a clue how we can find out, short of waiting for somebody who's on board now to come on and clue us in? -- TR

I'd hazard a guess that it is Grand Cayman as they passed the island again, maybe for a medevac.
