We were up having breakfast as we arrive at Costa Maya,
Mexico. The sea is rough and the wind is
really blowing. The Captain tried to
dock at the pier, but the wind and surf were too much. The waves were breaking over the dock and it
was not safe to walk on it, and the wind prevented us from docking. So we are on our way to Belize. Checking the weather on our computer shows
the same weather forecast there. This is
not good as Belize is a tender port. Bouncing
around in a little tender is not something we are looking forward to.
We went down to the dining room for lunch today and then
back to the cabin for some reading and card playing. The ship is moving at about 10 knots on our
way to Belize. The captain got within 39
miles of the port and turned around and headed back north. I think we are in a holding pattern for
ships. He is still planning on arriving
in Belize at 7:00 AM and then we will see about tendering to the dock. We have a tour to a Mayan site tomorrow, but
we will see if we make it. Forecast for
rain and a wind of 12 miles an hour. Not
a great forecast for a tour of a Mayan site.
The ship was in a holding pattern and the Gulf smoothed out
and we headed to bed. We just wish that
information as to what the ship is doing would be a little more
forthcoming.
