HOLLAND America Line
celebrated Thanksgiving last
week with a special array of
holiday culinary delights.
Created by HAL “Master Chef”
Rudi Sodamin, options included
several Thanksgiving-themed
cocktails – such as the delightful
Midnight Pumpkin which
is a combination of tequila,
Cointreau and pumpkin puree.
There was also the Pumpkin
Pie cocktail of Baileys, Kahlua
and pumpkin puree.
It’s not clear how popular the
celebratory drinks were, but we
expect it’s unlikely they will be
added to the year-round menu.
THERE was a red alert in the
South Atlantic Ocean this week,
with Britain’s Royal Air Force
scrambling two aircraft and a
warship to rescue a passenger
who had been bitten by a seal.
According to a statement
from the RAF, a search and
rescue helicopter based in the
Falkland Islands, accompanied
by a Hercules tactical transport
plane, flew several hundred
miles to reach the unnamed
British victim of the attack who
was aboard the Akademik Sergey
Vavilov at the time.
The operation also saw
offshore patrol vessel HMS Clyde
dispatched to about 200 nautical
miles east of Stanley so the
helicopter was able to refuel.
The man was apparently bitten
by a fur seal during a visit to
Salisbury Plain Beach on South
Georgia Island, with the official
statement saying he was in
serious condition with a major
arm injury which required urgent
medical attention.
