Just awakened from my siesta - this will be a sketchy story as I really do not know what is going on - we heard a request for a stretcher to be brought to deck 3 - the afternoon barrier reef tour was returning - they took someone off on a stretcher and then about half of the people got off but I think the seas got rough and they had to attempt another way to get remaining passengers off - we are watching all of this from our balcony - we are in some cove right now - boat disappeared around the front of ship maybe taking them off on other side? Looked like they were lowering one of those red boats attached to the ship - we met our next door neighbor, Frances, a delight from Calif, probably mid 80's and what a personality!! She was hanging over her balcony too. She said she had just taken a shower so please excuse her looks but she was clean from head to toe! Hate to leave you hanging but we are too lazy to walk upstairs and find out what exactly is going on - maybe Marcie will have the full and correct report - I just heard Tony tell Frances "something is not right Frances" but he is an alarmist - moving back to the passengers we have a Sandra Dee look a like onboard but this Sandra is still caught in a late 50's time warp but she must be pushing 70??!! There are several women with the time warp problem...tight faces but loose everything else - long long hair usually bleached to the Sandra Dee color - you get the pix - the more I look at her hubby he reminds me of Bobby Darin I will have to get Marcie's opinion - well Tony just called T and M and the rumors are a man had a heart attack, a heat stroke, fainted - all speculation - it is 5:45 pm here and the night is young - I hope no one is seriously ill!!! Oh the lady who brought the 38 gowns onboard and had them in wardrobes in her room - night of bad storm one fell on her leg she got out from under it and second one fell right on her bed - so much for bringing 38 ball gowns - she was not hurt at all- oh boy I met an older, opinionated, bossy woman today - we are friends after chatting for an hour - I know better than to tell Tony I like her as he'd say, of course you do, she's just like you!!!
