We have concluded our 9th day of our trip across the Atlantic Ocean. Winds were quite strong so we already covered 1550 miles of teh distance between Capo Verde and Martinique. We decided to make landfall in Martinique. This has been a cloudy, windy, passage. At least we were not stopped for any length of time. We are in good health and spirits. Ada is also well. We promised her a tasty steak dish at a nice restaurant in Martinique. We hope to arrive in Martinique by Wednesday. Fingers crossed...
