In the middle of a January night, little Katherine delivered one of those early wake-up calls that exhaust parents, and in this case a trip out onto the deck seemed wise, if only to keep from waking the neighbors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And that&rsquo;s when the unimaginable happened&hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It was early enough that only the three of them were on the deck of the <a href=\"http:\/\/disneycruise.disney.go.com\/ships-activities\/ships\/magic\/\">Disney Magic<\/a>. The ship was off the coast of Mexico, near <a href=\"http:\/\/www.islacozumel.com.mx\/\">Cozumel<\/a>. The Feltons heard a noise from the water. <a href=\"http:\/\/cruisingdoneright.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Disney-Magic.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Disney Magic\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23085\" height=\"434\" src=\"http:\/\/cruisingdoneright.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Disney-Magic.jpg\" width=\"650\" \/><\/a>Then they heard it again. They ran to the rail and looked down, where a man in the water was going by and calling for help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She alerted the crew. Within 30 minutes, the ship had turned around and launched a (hopefully) rescue operation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&quot;The odds of him being rescued, being seen&#8230;it was a little too much&#8230;I know Heather got emotional,&quot; Daniel told Lexington TV station <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lex18.com\/story\/27863784\/man-falls-overboard-is-saved-by-sleepless-baby\">Lex18.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Crew members jumped into a small rescue craft, found the victim, identified as Frank Jade, and brought him on board. He&rsquo;d fallen off Royal Caribbean&rsquo;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oasisoftheseas.com\">Oasis of the Seas<\/a>. He&rsquo;d been in the water for five hours. When he left the Magic at <a href=\"http:\/\/cozumelcruiseguide.com\/Punta_Langosta.html\">Punta Lagosta<\/a>, one of Cozumel&rsquo;s piers, Jade was reported to be stable with no serious injuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">While in the water, Jade said he was shocked nobody noticed that he&rsquo;d gone overboard. Cruise law attorney <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cruiselawnews.com\/\">Jim Walker<\/a> said <a href=\"http:\/\/www.royalcaribbean.com\/home.do\">Royal Caribbean<\/a> should be embarrassed that &ldquo;it lost a passenger at sea&rdquo; and that the cruise line &ldquo;has made no efforts to comply&rdquo; with [safety rules] which require &ldquo;the installation of overboard systems&rdquo; on Oasis of the Seas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Meanwhile, Baby Katherine is being celebrated as the world&rsquo;s first 13-month-old lifesaver.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13.3333339691162px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><em style=\"font-size: 13px; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\"><strong>Today at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.portsandbows.com\"><span style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\">portsandbows.co<\/span><\/a>m:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><\/span><em style=\"line-height: 20.7999992370605px; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\"><strong>Silversea stepping up<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13.3333339691162px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12028\" height=\"125\" src=\"http:\/\/cruisingdoneright.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DailyDeal-2-e1334202169354.jpg\" title=\"DailyDeal-2\" width=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13.3333339691162px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.ncl.com\/cruise-ship\/getaway\/overview\">Norwegian Getaway<\/a><br \/>\n\t7 nights<br \/>\n\tFebruary 7, 2015<br \/>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.miami.com\/\">Miami<\/a> (return): <a href=\"http:\/\/www.st-maarten.com\/\">St. Maarten<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/st-thomas.com\/\">St. Thomas<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nassauparadiseisland.com\/\">Nassau<\/a><br \/>\n\tInside: $449<br \/>\n\t<strong style=\"font-size: 13.3333339691162px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; text-align: center; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\">Cost per day: $64<\/strong><br \/>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncl.com\">www.ncl.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Any parent will likely agree nothing good can happen when a baby cries and cries and cries in the middle of the night.
