Kay Longstaff, 46, fell from a cruise ship and spent 10 hours in the Adriatic Sea at night
The cruise ship Norwegian Star was 60 miles off the coast of Croatia
Longstaff used to work as cabin crew on Virgin Atlantic planes
Crew member of the cruise ship has claimed Longstaff is unlikely to have fallen into sea by accident.
Daniel Punch, who works aboard the Norwegian Star ship ,said on Facebook ‘She didn’t fall, she jumped. It was on my ship. I spoke [to her] throughout the whole week. She was arguing with her fella the whole time.’
Longstaff’s boyfriend confirms the couple had been drinking alcohol and arguing before the incident.
An unknown source said: ‘Footage has been viewed and you can clearly see she was there on her own when she fell. She was not pushed. The theory we are working on is that she most likely jumped.’

8 European Beach Vacations That’ll Make Your Instagram Friends Jealous

July 2, 2018 Jeremy Leave a comment

If you think of a trip to Europe as a tour of fancy capitals and important monuments, you need a vacation. To, like, a perfect secluded surf town in Portugal. Or a wine-soaked beach club in Italy. So skip Cape Cod this summer—it’ll be there next year (we hope)—and shock your system with a little bain de soleil, Euro-style.

Having received a not insignificant amount of the Atlantic Ocean up my nose and in my ears on that last wave, my mouth now tastes like a waterlogged sleeve of saltines.

The sensation of standing up—I’m a beginner, all right?—is about as soul-nourishing as the buttery golden sauce they cook the clams in back in town. Let’s see, is that enough food metaphors? No—because the whole point of Sagres, the chillest, southwesternmost town in the Algarve, is that it combines impossibly epic beaches with impossibly fresh seafood…….Click Here To Keep Reading
