¶Renee and I had a bourbon tasting tonight. We (mostly) enjoyed a great selection of bourbons, including one that is, to date, a favorite of both of ours — Blanton’s. I didn’t care for the Wild Turkey Rare Breed, but I pretty much loved everything else. Town Branch was a standout.

¶We woke up this morning to an unexpected port call. At first I thought we were just slowly traversing the Turks Island Passage, cutting southward through the islands. I then realized we were sitting still, and then realized we’re were docked. The concierge told us there was a medical emergency on board, and the captain later made an announcement that a crew member needed “additional medical attention that can only be received at a hospital.” I watched as an ambulance slowly made its way to the dock and presumably carried the crew member away. I sure hope they’re ok.

¶I also watched a Learjet land at Grand Turk International airport, which was cool. Flew in from Tampa, making slightly better time than us. ;-)

¶Maybe 20-30 minutes later we were underway again. I guess now Renee and I can officially say we’ve been to Turks and Caicos.

¶Here’s a screenshot of the Learjet I watched land at Grand Turk International Airport.

¶Renee and I are about to get our Bingo on. No idea how to use this tablet…but here we go!
