We’re in the midst of our 4th consecutive day without sight of land. We’re clipping along on the world’s fastest passenger ship at an average speed of 17 knots or about 20 mph according to the GPS Channel on the TV in our room.
Had we just stayed on Amtrak to Hawaii, we’d already be there waiting for the M/V Explorer ;-) Such thoughts put us in a comparison frame of mind.
| Amtrak | M/V Explorer |
| Room Size | 56 sq ft | 160 sq ft |
| Food | Good | Good and unlimited |
| Towels | Changed on request | Changed every day |
| Internet | Never | Almost always |
| Ride | Rock and roll | Roll |
| Crew | Sparse and attentive | Plentiful and attentive |
Let me be clear…the
M/V Explorer is a great ride. More to come on this magnificent vessel.
Yours in learning port from starboard,

Great idea on posting the coords, Bridget. Yea, we missed the storm off Mexico and have been assured the Super Typhoon that's between Hawaii and Japan will be gone before we get there next week. Mary gave me the same advice for remembering port/starboard.
