Golden Princess Cruise Ship Makes A Daring Sea Rescue
We’ve got some more news from the Pacific Ocean, but this time it isn’t as successful or cool as those two dudes who decided to take a rowboat across the ocean. This story involves an ocean rescue and a couple of people that might want to reconsider their new career opportunities before they even began.
Two people from Seattle were rescued about 400 miles outside of Hawaii when their boat hit some rough seas last Friday. The winds were whipping and the waves were easily 40 feet high, and to make things worse, the two had to look after their dogs as well—don‘t worry they had life vests for their furry friends. Everything turned out well in the end as they signaled the Golden Princess cruise ship, and the vessel was glad to give them a lift. No word on whether they were allowed to eat in the dining room without formal attire.
Everyone made it to the cruise ship without incident, but they were forced to leave their boat behind. They did leave some kind of transmitter device back on the boat, so hopefully they’ll be able to find it—someday. After abandoning ship we’re thinking that they might want to give up on their dream. The two had left from San Francisco last month as they were heading to Hawaii to start a commercial fishing business. After nearly dying on the high seas, we’d definitely be thinking about trying a more traditional desk job instead.
