Wednesday was a sad day on the Amsterdam. As we sailed through rough sea as we passed through the north side of a storm (10 - 12 ft swells) we were informed that there was a missing passenger. An older lady who was last seen about 1:30 in the morning could not be found and was presumed to have gone overboard. They started looking for her on the ship just before 7 AM and at 9 AM, the captain turned the ship around ad started retracing the course we had sailed overnight. The search was being coordinated by the Irish and British search and rescue services. After 5 hours of sailing back towards were the woman had last been seen, it was determined that the Amsterdam could not get to the search area in time to be of help so we were released to continue our voyage to Ft. Lauderdale.
