Day 12 – At Sea (Saturday, 2012-01-14)
Weather: Sun, Hot and Humid, 30c+, GAIL FORCE WINDS
WEATHER ALERT: We are in a trade winds GAIL, with winds in excess of 80km, and wave heights of 25ft.
Ever since leaving the Panama Canal and being in the Caribbean Sea (Atlantic Ocean) we have had a drastic change in weather, the winds are now at Gail Force and the seas are very rough. The ship is holding course, and continuing on our route.
Once we left Cartagena, Columbia and cleared the harbour the wind and waves were on us again. In fact in the dining room which is one deck above the water line, a wave smashed into the window, but the glass is 3/4” thick and encased in a stainless steal frame, but it was a shock.
Tomorrow is our last stop in Georgetown, Cayman Islands.
