At Sea —Pacific Ocean
Temps: 81.7F (27.6C) @ UTC 3:00a (ship’s time 9:30p)
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.

It’s 6:30p. I am finally settled on the veranda.
It’s a bit warmer and more humid tonight, but perhaps there will be a breeze when the ship gains some speed after we drop off the pilot. Considering the day’s high was 95F (35C), I’m not complaining about the 82F (28C) temp at this hour.
Sunrise colors the morning as Insignia makes its way to Nicaragua.
I skipped dinner … even though Chef Farid is grilling “fish al fresco” on the open deck at the Terrace Café. We were told he went fishing today, which probably means he went to the fish market ;-). The aroma wafting down from deck 9 aft is tempting my taste buds, but you’ll see why I decided to resist the temptation when you get to the end of this post.
