Saturday 1st February

Still heading up the Mexico’s west coast passing Manzanillo. The sea is slight with small wavelets and the temperature is a balmy 27°C the sky is slightly cloudy, perfect for sun worshippers so Carol has gone up to pay homage. We spent a lot of time this morning turtle spotting. It’s surprising how many there are when you sit and wait for them to go by. Most of them are determinedly swimming nowhere, or so it appears. Later we went to a talk on Churchill and the Second World War given by a Professor Derek Fraser which was quite interesting. The captain told us on the midday broadcast that midday tomorrow would see us passing the Cabo San Lucas and Baja California known for its wildlife including Whales and Manta Rays. So we are going to divert and slowdown in the hope of seeing some of it.
