Today was a sea day, as we slowly headed north to San Francisco. The morning was rather uneventful, as we got up, had breakfast in the dining room, then went to a lecture about San Francisco. I left the lecture early to play Speedy Sudoko, but Mary stayed on to hear it.
Then things got interesting when before lunch, the captain came over the PA system and said how a crew member was injured and required medical evacuation, and a Coast Guard helicopter was being dispatched from Los Angeles. I was able to get a spot on deck 18 at the back of the ship to get pictures of the process. On the left is the patient being hoisted, and on the right, the Coast Guard rescue person (a.k.a "swimmer") being lifted back to the helicopter. It was all very intriguing to watch, as the entire process took about 25 minutes.
Tonight was Formal Night, and lobster tail was on the menu at dinner. YUM! They also had garlic shrimp which we had as an appetizer. The production show tonight was Bravo, featuring singers along with dancers. Another very good Princess production!
Tomorrow we visit San Francisco. No excursion as we've been here a few times and are planning to walk along the wharf and enjoy lunch at
Boudins.

Thank-you for the ‘next best thing to being there’ blog you so kindly shared. I cannot wait for the next post. I miss traveling so this is such an awesome thrill to read.
The water rescue looks interesting. Hope that crew member is okay. Have a great day in San Francisco!
Are there any covid protocols on board anymore?
