mongo59r Posted April 27, 2011 #329 Share Posted April 27, 2011 The ocean always leaves me in awe of the color and vastness surrounding me. On one particular day aboard the Ecstacy the ocean was nearly as smooth as a billiard table and the ship's wake seemed to reach to the horizon. A real moment of peace and beauty for me.

lindan1020 Posted April 27, 2011 #330 Share Posted April 27, 2011 A John boat full of fleeing cubans! LOL...not sure if it was the same cruise as you but we also encountered a boatload. The ship we were on actually had to stop and take them on board until we met up with officials (I think Coast Guard) who came and they were transferred to them. Glaciers are the COOLEST...and dog sledding on top of one is the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfig63 Posted April 27, 2011 #331 Share Posted April 27, 2011 On a Windjammer Barefoot cruise, I got to take the wheel of the S/V Polynesia as we were on a beam reach for St. Barts. Stayed on the wheel for about an hour. The navigator would come up and give course corrections and using the compass I would bring the ship around to the new heading. Pretty amazing being able to handle the ship while the rest of the passengers enjoyed their day. http://travel.webshots.com/photo/1246351406048977403qiVauR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room Service! Posted April 27, 2011 #335 Share Posted April 27, 2011 This doesn't really fit "the coolest thing you ever saw", because we never saw anything. 'Twas pitch dark, in the caribbean, and out of nowhere, the sounds of many helicopters flying very low over the water. Freaky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinpsychRN Posted April 27, 2011 #336 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Lots of heat lightening and water spouts. Seeing the mountains of Cuba brought me close to tears. It was so beautiful. In GC I stayed on the ship on the Serenity deck. There must have been about 20-30 dolphines playing in the water very close to the ship. They played there a long time. Then we were raided by the pirate boat. Double rainbow on the first sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
