Windstar to the rescue! According to Vanessa Bloy, a spokesperson for the cruise line, Windstar's Wind Surf assisted in a rescue at sea on the evening of December 23, 2008 in the Caribbean Sea.
A catamaran called Sofrane was experiencing engine problems off the north coast of Guadeloupe in 16-foot seas with winds at 40 knots. The Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre asked the Wind Surf to help and the ship did so by acting as a windbreak for the catamaran. The Sofrane and its one passenger waited in the calm water created by the Wind Surf for over two hours until a French rescue boat arrived on the scene. The Wind Surf then continued on to St. Martin.
