A brief post.

Captain James sailed south and west to get away from Tropical Storm Fay, and now we are too far away from St. Martin to make our call there on time.  Instead we are sailing directly for San Juan and will arrive there around 1 p.m. tomorrow.  We will stay over night and sail for Labadee at 2 p.m. on Tuesday – along with the medical staff, the tractor beams, and the photon torpedoes (cheap Star Trek reference).

In addition to Fay to the West of St. Martin, there is a tropical depression to the east of that island that will bring bad weather by late Monday or early Tuesday.  By taking the course he has, our captain has kept us out of the paths of two bad storms.  And over night in the land of Roberto Clemente is not a bad thing.

TTFN!
