Unscheduled stop in Acapulco due to a medical emergency of a fellow passenger. Sitting in the harbor waiting to transfer the patient. It looks like it would make a nice stop.

Life at the foot of a Volcano. Taken from Cerro de la Cruz in Antigua Guatemala. I would love to learn some new post processing techniques to remove a bit of haze.

Cloud forest hike in Costa Rica. A good lesson in biodiversity.

In the middle of the Gatun locks. Right next to a tanker.

Watching a tanker exiting the new canal.

Day at sea today. Spinning class, pickleball, and glorious time to just read. Fun science fact I learned. The distance to the horizon in km is the square root of the number of meters above the water times 3.57. So we can see about 17 km from our room

A nice addition to cruising is pickleball at sea! We just got on the ship so its too early to tell if the court will be busy. Playing on a metal floor definitely gives a different feel.

Good morning Coachella valley.

Listening to @danielpunkass and @gruber on the Talk Show, while using Chat GPT to add docstrings to a pile of undocumented Python APIs!
