Weather Forecast

As we proceed down the coast of Mexico, a high pressure area northeast of us shall keep weather generally pleasant for the next few days. Expect winds out of the southeast at 12-15 knots and 3-4 foot swells out NNE, so the ship should continue riding comfortably. Expect temperatures in the low to mid 80’s. Those cadets enamored with Cel Nav should be happy to note that the high pressure area to the north of us shall keep the skies mostly clear for observations, but beware of isolated low pressure areas as we near port that may hinder sights. As the weather gets more pleasant the farther south we head, be sure to keep well hydrated and some sun block at hand, as the midday sun can get pretty intense. Of course, if you’re into that type of thing you can just skip the sunscreen and head straight to Lobster City.
