...first ferry boat pulled its bow up to the tip of the wing, and the first mate lowered the Jacob's ladder down to us. We got a couple people up the ladder to safety, but the current was strong pushing the stern of the boat into the inflatable slide and we were afraid it would puncture it; there must have been 25 passengers in it by now. Only two or three were able to board the first ferry before it moved away...
...Royal Caribbean cruise line is rolling out the world's largest cruise ship next fall, the Oasis of the Seas. Rock walls are passe; this 5,400-passenger colossus has its own zip line across the back of the boat. But if you fear that a voyage on the state-of-the-art Oasis will sink your wallet, think again: you can book a seven-night Caribbean trip in that brass ring of cruise deals, a cabin with a balcony, for less than $1,000 per person. Considering it includes three meals a day, it's like getting an Orlando...
Cruises have been an affordable luxury for a generation now, ever since Captain Steubing and the Love Boat first weighed anchor.

We're all adults, and it's a natural thing. It's not something that's relevant and shouldn't be something that stops women from getting out there to compete...
During the tournament, you can't actually get off the boat unless there's an emergency. There's no restroom, and you can't make a restroom break. I'm sure that most of the guys will be able to take restroom breaks - just pee of the side of the boat. That's not a luxury that I'm afforded. So I deal with the issue by never going. It works for me now, but who's going to hang out with me when I'm 40? I'll probably be ruined...
