kitty allen Posted November 15, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I would like to pack as little as possible, but I don't want to guess wrong. I would expect it to be cool out at sea even at the equator, but I see people talking about the importance of getting a shady spot at the pool. How should I pack?

rvsullivan Posted November 15, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Well, we cruise in December and it is warm to hot at sea and in port. The only cool/cold we've noticed is arriving/departing from US ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted November 15, 2011 #3 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Are you cruising around the Horn, from Buenos Aires to Chile? If so, you're going to need to pack for every season. It will be very cold the farther south you go, but around the Equator, it will be HOT and very humid. Remember, they have seasons opposite of North America, so December is the start of their summer.

Mary Ellen Posted November 15, 2011 #4 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Where in South America? It is a rather large continent. If you are talking equatorial regions it will be quite warm (and humid) year round. If you are going to Cape Horn at the south end, it could be quite chilly.

Rare Keith1010 Posted November 16, 2011 #5 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Please post your specific itinerary. This is because some areas will be hot, and others cold. No different than the USA in December. Florida can be warm and Minnesota can be cold. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be as far south as Colombia, but my experience (great lakes and agean) is that it's not hot on a boat. Maybe I'm factoring in wind. I've never been on that big a boat that far south. But I gather from the replies that it really will be hot at sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted November 16, 2011 #7 Share Posted November 16, 2011 It will be (probably very) hot during the day, and cooler, of course, at night, but still comfortable; usually quite humid too. If I was going to spend time out on deck at night while at sea in the S. Caribbean/Central America, I might need a light jacket or sweater, depending on the wind, but I get cold easily. I also often need some kind of wrap inside because of air conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
