What are itineraries, routes, legs, stopovers, and waypoints?
An itinerary is a route divided into legs showing the planned locations and dates of the main stopovers from the start (initial departure) to the end (final arrival), which is the destination of the vessel's journey (also called voyage, trip, torn, or expedition).
Each leg has a departure and an arrival date and location. It may also have additional waypoints in between, which might be stopping points or course change points.
Accuracy of itineraries
Itineraries for vessels at sea are never precise! We use three accuracy levels for the planning status to avoid confusion about what is likely to happen or not:
- Pending (not accurate) – initial idea, possibilities
- Preliminary (kinda accurate) – changes may still apply
- Planned (fairly accurate) – this is what's meant to happen
Days vs Nights
The duration of an itinerary is counted in days (start to end date) and the leg in nights (departure to arrival date). That is because you may arrive on a Monday and leave on a Tuesday. Therefore, there can be confusion if you were there for one or two days, but it would strictly count as one night without any confusion.
Therefore, you would say you went on a 14-day holiday or trip (the itinerary) and spent 13 nights on all your legs combined, for example.
Planning vs Estimates
There is also an important distinction between planning (what's the intention) and estimating (what's calculated). A time of arrival is always an estimate as a calculation is required; that's why it is called ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival).
You can't plan to leave San Francisco and arrive in Hawaii 10 minutes later, regardless of how desperate your intention is. If you intend to arrive in Hawaii by a certain date and estimate 10 days for the journey, then you can plan to leave San Francisco 12 to 15 days before. Therefore, your departure date is planned (what's the intention), and the arrival is still an estimate (what's calculated based on season, winds, currents, and many other factors). Plans can change due to weather, government requirements, breakdowns, delays, etc.
Tips for planning an itinerary
The following tips are worth noting to manage your itinerary and maintain an excellent overview:
- 1) Name your itinerary with a short and clear title, such as 2024 Antarctic Expedition or 2024 Italy Family Torn, that is descriptive, easy to remember, and simple to refer to in conversations.
- 2) You can set your itinerary's visibility to private while planning it, share it with only those you contact, or share it with anyone who views your profile.
- 3) Next, add each leg of the significant stopovers by date and location.
- 4) Then, keep updating each leg as required.
Be realistic and mindful when planning an itinerary. People will arrange their timing and life around it, taking time off work, booking flights, arranging accommodation, etc. It's crucial to let the crew know how accurate they can expect the itinerary to be.

Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Currently in Half Moon Bay, California. Hoping to set sail to San Diego when I get done in NC, do the check out, check in to Mexico dance, and then head around the Baja to somewhere in the Cortez to wherever I can find a spot. I like crew who are competent with fixing things with duct tape and some worn out pliers, if you know what I mean. I'm a simple man; I don't need gourmet meals, or sun downers with perfect sunsets, but If you have skills with wiring, navigation, diesels, things like that, you have value. I like being waaaay offshore, and racking up miles, rather than pulling in to every harbor to dodge weather. I'm not afraid to wear a pink shirt or run from a 50 kt storm either. Although I don't think I have any pink shirts currently.....maybe I need to work on that. Anyway, If you are the type who likes to sail more than sit at anchor every night, maybe this trip is appealing - let me know. If you are in the area, you can come by, have a beer, and decide whether you think I am tolerable, and I can make snide remarks regarding your sailing experience! (laughing is good for your health). I like crew that are physically fit, and want to actually live the cruising lifestyle, meaning fixing things in exotic locations, of course! If your idea of sailing is to sit on your butt and watch me and someone else do all of the dirty or hard work, pass on this boat please. I've seen that all too often. If you are interested in learning and doing the hard things that will make you better, feel free to reach out. If you are too old or not fit enough to be out there, don't risk your health or mine by thinking that you are. Be honest with yourself and me please. You will not enjoy being out there if you cannot do the physical things that are required to actually sail offshore.
