This ship was parked near the resort and there was a lot of fanfare when it finally sailed off. Our bartender friend Fernando told us they were the Columbian Marines. Look closely, do you see those teeny tiny figures that look almost like people perched on those platforms? They're people. They stayed like that for quite some time, long after everyone on land had stopped waving and had gone back to watching the Pats/Colts game at the poolbar.
As the ship slowly sailed off into the distance I kept peering out from the corner of my eye, nervously wondering how in God's name they were going to get down. I kept imagining the ones on the tip top tentatively calling out, "Um, hello? Do you think we can get down now please? Anyone?" It was all very flashy, albeit in a recklessly dangerous way.
