So awfully sad...hit close to home, my husband's boss knows the family, my sister-in-law's aunt & uncle were part of his group on the cruise...the family lived near us in MA, and had recently retired to FL -- and we were on the island when this happened. I, for one, was very nervous getting in/out of water at Simpson Bay that day, waves were so very powerful -- you had to time your entry/exit just right. I do remember a few years ago at Karakters not having the timing down and got dumped/tumbled, very scary -- absolutely no control. Please be very careful. Blessings.....
