Taking the Windward Passage (FEB 04)

We passed about 10 miles off the eastern tip of Cuba just after noon today.  About 23 months ago, we were in the Cuban town of Baracoa looking out at the Windward Passage between Cuba and Hispaniola through which we were cruising today.

This passage has a long and colorful history.  It remains the preferred ship route between the Panama Canal and ports on the east coast of the United States.

Today the seas are calm and the temperature about 80°.
