    The situation unfolded ,with 3 ambulances and the return of the jet ski which was on its side...No attempt was made to turn it upright and I had the awful thought that maybe she was still attached .
    We boarded the catamaran and it was not the calm cruise Id originally booked but due to the change of activities ,i was on the booze cruise party outing .. The scenery was lovely,but when there was an opportunity to snorkel ,i didnt ,as it meant following the guide ,swimming for 30mins,which is more than I can manage.I would have had a go on the slide that went from the top deck of the back of the boat,if id realised in advance
    The sunset was the best part
    I felt sad all day and wondered how many of the people on the cruise,who saw things unfold before we left ,would actually have given the accident ,a 2nd thought by the end of the cruise
