Cruise 2009 Wednesday
We left San Maarten Tuesday evening and would spend all day today cruising to our last port of call, Labadee. The sun was out, the sky cloudless, and our next port was not very far away so we cruised at a slower speed keeping the headwinds very tolerable. In other words, another perfect [...]
