Sea Days to Mexico

Published on 28 January 2026 at 15:48

The voyage from Fuerte Amador to Manzanillo, Mexico is approximately 1500 nautical miles or just over 1700 of our normal miles. This is approximate due to the chosen route, sea state and weather. The latter two being good at the moment. There's a barely detectable bit of movement on board and the weather is a warm 25 degrees (ish) at 1030 in the morning with light clouds. I'm told we're sailing at around 22 knots which is around 25 miles an hour, so a fairly good pace!

Due to the distance, we have three sea days so I'm going tomturn my attention towards sharing some images of the ship (provided Elons Starlink allows me) over on the other website page.

Meanwhile, the next couple of days are going to be spent relaxing and attempting to avoid over indulging but we'll have to see how that works out!!!!!

It's a gala night tonight which for the uninitiated is where the dress code switches to formal wear, tuxedos etc. A few venues continue to allow smart casual but on the whole everyone is encouraged to dress up. To be honest, I actually quite enjoy this, people really go to town and the atmosphere is a really fun one. 

The rest of today is edge of the seat stuff with me trying to locate a laundry that isn't rammed!! Easier said than done let me assure you!
