Raoul, thanks. I was able to see it now. What a terrible sight.

Another good reason not to smoke!! Those pictures , combined with the Star Princess event, really show that such a little thing as a cigarette butt can cause TREMENDOUS damage!! Ugh!

I have something to confess. I can prove i was on the ship, but i can;t prove i started the fire... but i did. It was a total mistake. I was on the back smoking a cigarette, flicked it over board, thinking nothing would happen. The wind caught it and took it under into the galley, and caught fire to a rope. Accuse me of lying all you wish, but it won't change the truth.
