Sea Day complete with Helicopter rescue (drill)


 

 

Our second day at sea was very relaxing and easy….I attended  a craft class, no  line dancing today – although a really good class yesterday.  Met up with friends, sat out at the pool, with coat, hat and scarf…..ate a good lunch. What more could you ask for?

 

A helicopter rescue drill, that is what we needed!  And we got one, what a show that was.  The captain announced the Shetlands Coast Guard were coming to do a drill, so none of us was worried when they arrived and began their rescue mission.  The skill it must take for the helicopter to hover right in front of the ship and drop off a pallet to, in theory, collect a person in distress.  It was so impressive and fun to watch. Not to mention the most exciting thing that was happening all day today! 


 

Once the show was over, we all went back to sitting in the sun, reading, napping or whatever.  Life is good!
