En Route to Jamaica

We are presently about 25 miles south of the eastern tip of Cuba. We have passed through the Windward Passage and are en route to Jamaica. Its very hot and humid as we have lost the tradewinds for the moment. The wind is barely blowing, the sea is calm with a gentle swell, and the sky is blue and full of a white haze from moisture rising up from the water. We had a beautiful sail yesterday--making about 168 miles. Sometimes surfing to 11 or so knots. But mainly charging along for many hours in the mid 8's. The wind dropped late last night reducing our speed.
We are presently sailing with Water Musick and Makai. Both are also bound for Port Antonio on the northeast shore of Jamaica.
A helicopter, presumably from Guantanamo Bay, just buzzed Makai and asked for vessel information. We are about 60 Miles SE of Guantanamo Bay.
We are running wing and wing with two headsails and one engine...making a little over 6 knots. Not bad, but its much nicer without the engine noise...
Just put in the fishing lines...maybe we'll get some lunch.
