What are itineraries, routes, legs, stopovers, and waypoints?
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Next, add each leg of the significant stopovers by date and location.
- 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.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

I am looking for a professionally-minded person to help me sail and maintain the boat. The position will require a calm and competent crew that is willing to help with all aspects of vessel operations and living aboard. This is a privately owned vessel and will never be chartered. It is a live-aboard position and could work out to be a full-time long-term position for the right candidate. Crew will need to be a general all-round, assistant to the captain. Tasks will include help with mooring, docking, lines and fenders, tender driving, sailing, cleaning and washing, general operations and maintenance, etc. You will also get to sail a quality, well maintained boat in some of the most beautiful parts of the world!
