Nassau/St thomas/St Maarten

Sarai was not a big fan of the waves. The sound of it drove her crazy and sent her into tears. But i had to document putting her feet in the sand and ocean for the first time.

For the second part of our trip we went on the Carnival Glory for 7 days. I was very excited to go on the cruise and get pampered. In the beginning of the cruise we had to deal with hurricane fay, as a result of the storm we skipped our port in nassau and had to go out of our path to avoid the storm. We were able to make it to St. thomas where i rained at the start of the day but eventually it cleared up so we could get off of the cruise. I am so happy we did it was beautiful, sarai got to go to the beach for the very first time. We also got some great photos. Sarai and i were not able to get off and tour st.maarten because the winds and rains were to strong. So unfortunately we were stranded on the boat again. The storms played a big part in wreaking havoc on our trip we continually at disney and on the cruise had to deal with the pouring rain. As a result of the storm our cruise was called by the coast guard to rescue a vessel that had overturned at sea. The coast guard plane scouted the accident but was not able to rescue the victims you of course need a helicopter to do so. So according to maritime law the nearest boat/ship by law has to respond to the accident. So our captain took us two hours out of our route to go rescue the people (which was exciting). However, the coast guard was able to an helicopter out before we could rescue the victims. I was in the cabin with sarai taking a nap so i missed the whole thing. But my family was able to view the rescue. On our way back we ran into some more bad weather so we had to change our route to avoid the storm so we docked a little later than expected. It was a very exciting and turbulent trip, but i am happy i got to spend time with my family.

I was very excited about putting sarai in the water for the first time. At first she hated the water and hated the sand, she would cry everytime i put her in. Then i figured out it wasnt the water and sand she hated, rather the noise the water made as it came crashing ashore. So i went out further where she couldnt hear and she absolutely loved it! She was like a little mermaid. I have no doubt she is gonna be a surfer just like her daddy she is a natural.
