Hi Everyone..... I have just returned from my Grand Norwegian Voyage aboard Queen Mary 2 and I was on board when this meeting with the Artemis Investment boat took place...... my friend and I watched from deck 7 near Kings Court in the mist and fog. what a sight it was.... Captain Nick said it was like finding a needle in a haystack . We watched as the QM2's rescue boat with 2 crew, an officer and the videographer were lowered into the ocean and went over to talk to the guys on Artemis....they couldn't get too close.... no contact at all... they told us through the phone to Capt Nick about some of their experiences so far.... a few friendly whales... the boat capsized twice, one man fell overboard, their bottoms were sore from all the rowing and one man had an ingrown toenail that they had to do surgery on with a swiss army knife ! We cheered and sang to them and then with a few blows from the whistle, we started back on our way. For a while, they rowed in our wake....
It was an experience I won't forget.
