Itineraries

  • An itinerary is a route divided into legs showing the planned locations and dates of the main stopovers from the start (S) (initial departure) to the finish (F) (final arrival), which is the destination of the vessel's journey (also called voyage, trip, torn, or expedition).

Each leg has a departure and an arrival date and location. It may also have additional waypoints in between, which might be stopping points or course change points.

Accuracy of itineraries

Itineraries for vessels at sea are never precise! We use three accuracy levels for the planning status to avoid confusion about what is likely to happen or not:

  • Pending (not accurate) – initial idea, possibilities
  • Preliminary (kinda accurate) – changes may still apply
  • Planned (reasonably accurate) – this is what's meant to happen
Days vs Nights

The duration of an itinerary is counted in days (start to end date) and the leg in nights (departure to arrival date). That is because you may arrive on a Monday and leave on a Tuesday. Therefore, there can be confusion if you were there for one or two days, but it would strictly count as one night without any confusion.

Therefore, you would say you went on a 14-day holiday or trip (the itinerary) and spent 13 nights on all your legs combined, for example.

Planning vs Estimates

There is also an important distinction between planning (what's the intention) and estimating (what's calculated). A time of arrival is always an estimate as a calculation is required; that's why it is called ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival).

You can't plan to leave San Francisco and arrive in Hawaii 10 minutes later, regardless of how desperate your intention is. If you intend to arrive in Hawaii by a certain date and estimate 10 days for the journey, then you can plan to leave San Francisco 12 to 15 days before. Therefore, your departure date is planned (what's the intention), and the arrival is still an estimate (what's calculated based on season, winds, currents, and many other factors). Plans can change due to weather, government requirements, breakdowns, delays, etc.

Tips for planning an itinerary

The following tips are worth noting to manage your itinerary and maintain an excellent overview:

  1. Name your itinerary with a short and clear title, such as 2025 Antarctic Expedition or 2025 Italy Family Cruise, that is descriptive, easy to remember, and simple to refer to in conversations.
  2. You can set your itinerary's visibility to private while planning it, share it with only those you contact, or share it with anyone who views your profile.
  3. Next, add each leg of the significant stopovers by date and location.
  4. Then, keep updating each leg as required.

Be realistic and mindful when planning an itinerary. People will arrange their timing and life around it, taking time off work, booking flights, arranging accommodation, etc. It's crucial to let the crew know how accurate they can expect the itinerary to be.

Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Ismailia to Cyprus.

Hi, I started to fulfill my long-cherished dream in July 2019 and went on a circumnavigation.
I started in Croatia, sailed the Mediterranean, crossed the Atlantic January 2020, sailed almost the whole Caribbean (east and west) and crossed the Pacific single handed May 2023

Just exploring Cyprus, from here to Greece and into the Mediterranean.

I'm looking for one kind, open minded, crewmember, who likes to sail with me and have a hand for the boat for a part or the whole trip.
Own cabin is of course available.

Some sailing experience for crossings would be fine, for coastal sailing and island hopping experience is not essential.
I will be glad to teach you some more about sailing.
Hop on hop off is possible (almost) at any time.
I’m flexible in my timeline and destinations also towards ideas from crewmates,
Safety, no time stress and enjoying are top priority.

I’m sailing since more than 25 years and owned my Boat 17 years ago, a save 10m/33ft steel yacht, equipped with solar power, watermaker, active AIS, EPIRB etc. for long-haul and single-handed with 3 cabins for up to 4 persons.

If you like to discover foreign countries, sailing, hiking, snorkeling, swimming, maybe kite surfing, enjoy a Sundowner, a laid back lifestyle, get on with the close on board and have enough time-out and want life your dream then you are welcome.

If you’re interested don't hesitate do contact me.
