Off Central Baja California (MAR 10)

We awoke to overcast skies and 64°. In the distance we could see a mountainous coast. Looking at the chart, we were a bit south of Punta Eugenia (red arrow).
My Marine Traffic app showed a number of purple icons astern of us (orange circle). These were yachts. Several that I checked had a destination of of Faro de Cabo Falso which is a lighthouse at Cabo San Lucas. I speculated that we had recently passed an open ocean racing fleet. An online search suggested it might be the Westmex International Small Boat Regatta.
As I was leaving our stateroom to go up to the top deck for a walk, Komang, one of our two stewards, suggested that I take my camera and go to the pool area on deck 8.
It was an impressive display of towel art created by all the room stewards on the ship.
At 1030, we were passing  Isla Cedros on the western side of Bahia Sebastian Viczaino. 

By 1100, it had started to rain. The rain continued for the remainder of the day.  The visibility dropped. The outdoor temperature maxed out at 65°. It was perfect weather for a late lunch, another of Captain Schoonerbeek's entertaining lectures...
...Pam to buy sunglasses...
...a nap and (ugh!) packing our bags. 

ROTTERDAM is scheduled to arrive at the San Diego pilot station at 0500 tomorrow.  I do not plan to be up to see the pilot come aboard, but I may be; we're more than a little apprehension about what tomorrow may bring, beginning with whether the ship will be cleared to let us disembark.

Manzanillo, Mexico (MAR 7)

As mentioned in yesterday's post, having lost time passing through the Tehuantepecer the previous night, the captain kept the ship's speed significantly above her normal 20-knot maximum cruising speed all night long.  23 knots may not strike the reader as that much faster, but on a ship this size it is a big difference. It takes a lot more fuel making it expensive (which makes the bean-counters back at headquarters unhappy). It increases stresses within the ship. It causes vibration can break things (e.g. pipe joints).  The captain was no doubt regularly asking the ship's navigator how soon he could return to normal cruising speed and still meet our scheduled arrival time.  Finally, that moment arrived.  At 0617, the vibration and ship noise suddenly dropped back to normal. We were doing 20 knots again.  This morning we cruised along the Mexican coast. Weather was about 85ﾟ with partly cloudy skies and a light breeze. At noon, we ...

Hello San Diego (MAR 11)

Image
We awoke to find ROTTERDAM already berthed. We had a leisurely breakfast in our stateroom while (with some apprehension) awaiting the announcement that passengers could begin disembarkation. Apprehension built as the clock went well past the initial disembarkation time with no announcement of any kind. It subsided a bit when the PA system began announcing the names of several non-USA citizens who had not yet reported to ICE for passport inspection. Ten minutes later most of the names were paged a second time.  The clock continued to advance with no further announcements, causing apprehension to uptick again. At 0845, I went out on our verandah to look at the gangway and was relieved to see passengers disembarking.  The first official announcement that passengers could go ashore came at 0900. This was 90 minutes after disembarkation was supposed to begin. Since Pam & I were staying in San Diego for a couple of days and had not fixed commitment until...

Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica (MAR 03)

Having skipped ahead with several post on our health status and progress towards home, I am now returning to a chronological series of posts on the remainder of our trip, hopefully at the rate of one per day.  Many are already written, but long tours on March 3-5 were a stumbling block for time to created those posts.  If I can hold the daily schedule for now just March 4-5, it should be clear sailing to the finish line.   In my last breathtakingly exciting post we were at sea having passed through the Panama Canal the previous day and so... ____________________________________________ Hello Costa Rica We were up early for a 9-hour tour that began at 0700. It included an aerial tram ride, a boat ride on the Tarcoles River and a visit to a sloth sanctuary. THE DESCRIPTION This remarkable day-long journey begins with an air-conditioned ride through the gorgeous Costa Rican countryside to the world-renowned  Rainforest Adventures Aeri...
