St. Thomas (Day 5)

Day 5 started out early.  The cruise director woke us up around 5:00 am with an announcement that the coast guard had asked our ship for assistance.  The MSC Seaside had reported a man overboard and per maritime protocols we spent the next 4 hours as part of the search and rescue operation complete with helicopters.  We read later that it was a 37 year old crewman from the Phillipines who fell overboard from the 7th deck.   He was never found, may he rest in peace.  We arrived in St. Thomas a bit late that day.





 




 The ride to Magen's Bay in St. Thomas was stunning!
