Live_2_cruise05 Posted June 25, 2005 #13 Share Posted June 25, 2005 This is BAD!! I was on the Elation last year, and I cant seem to think of a way that you can fall overboard unless you are climbing up the rails or something! We will be on the Elation next weekend! Hope he/she is ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxShipShape Posted June 25, 2005 Author #15 Share Posted June 25, 2005 No news yet. sailwx.info hasn't been update since yesterday so we don't know where the elation really is right now. I will keep checking for a message from my friend. sgriff17: I email you last night, did the message arrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted June 25, 2005 #16 Share Posted June 25, 2005 IF this were true, don't y'all think it would have been on the news by now? I watch all the news shows - and not a word about it.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton Posted June 25, 2005 #19 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Now, Derf, you know it's not commonplace.:rolleyes: I talked with a friend who's a news editor for a Galveston newspaper. They know nothing about it. Just seems strange to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton Posted June 25, 2005 #22 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Derf, why are you posting that again? It's the same thing you posted earlier in this thread. This is just downright goofy. I don't think anybody fell overboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxShipShape Posted June 26, 2005 Author #24 Share Posted June 26, 2005 No, but they are on the ship. I aplogize for not getting any addition info. I assumed what they sent me was factual. I just checked sailwx.info and it shows the Elation heading back for Galveston so it looks like they are on schdule. We will see what happens when she gets in tomorrow and I can get the full story.
