Nice! We're going on the Rocio starting the 16 for the 12 day cruise. What was the water temp? You all look like 3 mm and hoodies, but I thought the water would be warmer?
29C (84F).
I wear hood for protection (some bugs seem to like to munch on my ear wax). Also I like to put mask strap over my ears to even up the mask skirt seal pressure on my face. If I put the strap above my ears, the mask skirt would put more pressure on my forehead and less pressure on the cheeks that leads to leaky mask that I need to drain the water out of the mask, otherwise the water would get into my nose when I look up or swimming with face up. Having the hood on is like having sock under the strap, protecting my ear lobe from getting blister by the strap movements.
