Cabo San/Lucas, Mexico

CABO SAN LUCAS, MEXICO

 

Beautiful sunrise on the sailing to Cabo located at the tip of the Baja Peninsula. 

 

An icon of Cabo – the famed El Arco, is a natural rock formation that creates an arch over these beautiful azure waters. 


Sport fishing for Marlin is a favorite for those taking cruise excursions.  Jim and Joe Buckovic were hoping to fish for the BIG one this morning but the boat captain already had a full party.  There were four cruise ships in port at the same time – the Costa, Azamara, Carnival and our Viking ship. 
 

Since Cabo has no deep water pier, all the ships must anchor in the harbor, and passengers ride in tenders to reach the shore.

Plenty of tourists about but Jim and I stayed on board and thoroughly enjoyed our own space everywhere on the ship for taking spectacular yacht photos!!!!  A good day for a massage too!!!!


According to a person in the "know", this yacht is owned by a billionaire magnate who owns Seaspan shipping and The Washington Companies.  He has two additional yachts and owns Stuart Island off the coast of BC between the mainland and Vancouver Island.  Just wondering who flies the helicopter on the bow?

Itinerary

  Less than a month now until embarkation. We have both almost finished practice-packing for our Luggage Forwarding. Viking is kind enough to ship one large  suitcase each directly from our home to our stateroom! So, for those of you who wish to follow along on our great adventure, here is our itinerary as of the moment - on a trip such as this, of course, everything is subject to change at a moment's notice! Our original itinerary had us going through the Suez Canal and around the Middle East - but that changed with the start of the Israeli-Hamas conflict. Now, we are going around Africa instead.     World Cruise Itinerary   DATE DESCRIPTION EXCURSION   18-Dec-24 Wed Depart The Villages   19-Dec-24 Thu Embark Viking Sky   20-Dec-24 Fri ...

Embarkation

 Well, it's here at last. After counting down for over 435 days, we finally arrive in Ft Lauderdale and board our new home for the next 138 days! Here is our stateroom (before the luggage arrives).  Our travelling companions are Joe Buckovic and Julie Wheeler, neighbors from The Villages. The ship is beautifully decorated for Christmas already. This is a huge gingerbread house and display in the main atrium. Came back to our stateroom after dinner to find a wonderful surprise from Viking, a nice chocolate cake and a bottle of champagne for Sandy's birthday. All in all, a wonderful start to what promises to be a magnificent experience. We look forward to sharing it with you. Now enroute to Cozumel, Mexico for our first port call. Check back for more tomorrow!
