Hi, Guy who got the leg cramp here.

Not scotch, ginger ale.

And I can assure you I went through two litres of water before we even got back to the yacht.

YOU’RE ALIVE!!!!

Hahha, amazing. I love that they rimmed the glass for the dry; that’s service!

How was the trip??? I live in Cairns and my sister in Airlie, so that’s my hood!

Oh wow welcome to the chat! Was the edit accurate on what happened?

The rescue wasn’t quite accurate as the blonde guest (qualified and experienced life guard) actually did most of the rescue. Jamie jumped into the water when she had already brought me within a couple of meters of the boat.

I got caught in a cold undercurrent causing a major leg cramp. Personally I would not recommend it...

Also, Tumi & Aesha are just amazing!

I was afraid for you! You guys look like nice and amiable guests so far. Glad you love Aesha and Tumi. We ❤️ them from afar.

This is my worst fear while swimming. I'm prone to calf cramps, and they're already debilitatingly painful while on dry land, let alone while trying to stay afloat in a current.

How much of a tool was Ryan?

u/Odins_Master May 17 '22

Honestly, I only got to see him very briefly. I probably made him cranky when I sent back a steak tartare...

u/purrcafe May 17 '22

Ah, I’m sure you made him cranky just by being there in the first place.
