Must be a medical evacuation.

Must be a medical evacuation.

I was returning from a Princess med cruise when she called into Brest for a medevac.

It meant we sailed right through the middle of the Cowes yacht races mid morning - with some inconvenience to the sailors :D:D - and we were late returning into Southampton.

It caused havoc with those who had tightly timed onward connections.

Still, they don't choose to do medevac for no goods reason - hope the passenger is ok.
