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

Hello
After 3 years sailing the Caribbean on my Lagoon 450F, I now have a 2020 Nautitech 46 Fly. For the past 8 months I have upgraded her and prepped her for crossing the Pacific. She now has 3200W solar, 9.5 kw genset, 22kw lithium, aircon in all cabins and more. She is ready for off grid.

Depending on the weather and winds, we will slowly sail through Mexico, Roatan, Colombia OR the Bahamas, PR, windward islands, Grenada, Colombia. Either ending in San Blas Panama early March waiting to cross the canal and do final preparation to cross the Pacific.

Along the way, spear fishing, any type of sport, exploring, and finding new experiences. It will be amazing and a once in a lifetime wild ride.

The adventure is beginning again and looking for fun people along the way.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleanimmaculatevery safevessel is survey certifiedvery spaciousshare experiencevisit remote placesmulticultural

Life aboard the 45 foot catamaran is not just sailing but a condo on the water. 3 cabin owner version setup for blue water cruising.

She turns heads on the dock and anchorages not just for her lines but the wonderful food that is made aboard.

Heading to Panama to go through the canal and spend time on both sides while exploring and preparing to make the pacific crossing to Fiji
