The Norwegian Dawn was hit by a rogue wave yesterday morning enroute between
Nassau and NYC. Crossed through a gale that is now NW of Bermuda. Stove in
2 portholes, flooded 62 cabins and slightly injured 4 passengers . They are
in Charleston, SC now making repairs.


I wouldn't call the windows on that, or any other modern cruise ship,
'portholes.' I am sure that was one of those we saw regularly coming
and going in the Hudson. Many of them look like glass-walled hotels.

I hope the passengers can enjoy having a good story to tell their
grandchildren, but I wouldn't blame them for being really ****ed right
now.

I wonder if the tourists following the wine-tasting
circuit in 'Sideways' start off by doing the NY Times
crossword in ink as they drive up I-5?
