The Encore is rocking and rolling!

The Captain warned us last night we might have rough seas due to expected gale-force winds and we are rocking and rolling now. Looks like we might not get into port...safety first.

I see you are now in Tangier having sailed overnight from Portimao. The Med can often throw up unexpected weather systems that seem to come out of nowhere. That’s where we as a family learned to sail. Just hope it calms down for you before you sail back to Spain tonight! If not, two or three large malt whiskies after dinner should take care of it!:whiskey-glass::whiskey-glass::whiskey-glass::evilsmile:

Rough seas and practicing for rough seas is the only reason I drink single malts. :halo::halo:

lol, made it safely to the next port. Just set sail from Cartagena to Ibiza. This has been a lovely cruise but hot hot hot!

Gaa2, Your report regarding sea conditions is interesting, as we take the repeat of this cruise next month !!.

Sorry to hear the passengers & crew are being cooked and shaken with the hot and wild weather. Has any of the shore tours been affected or cancelled due to the heat ?.

Thanks for any update

We board in Monaco next week so also interested to hear what we’re in for.

 

Still,looking forward to the cruise

The rest of the cruise has been smooth sailing. I am unaware of any excursions being cancelled due to the heat, and most people are mopping their brows and drinking extra water as they explore in port. The cafes are still full of people sitting outside but the shaded tables are definitely the prime spots. It was lovely on deck tonight with a light breeze.

Gaa2 - thanks so much for the update, and we wish you an enjoyable voyage for the rest of the cruise. Was preparing to stock up on Quells and some extra sunscreen!!.
