Greetings!
I was gone most of the weekend and found an email
today from Rosi and Jim. They plan to leave
Grenada today (Monday, 7 Feb) with the planned
destination of Grand Cayman or Cozumel. I guess
they decided to dispense with the idea of going to
Dominica. I believe they are taking this route
because the currents generally run west and then
north to Cozumel and the winds are typically from
the east at this time of year.
My quick and dirty calculations estimated that the
straight line distance between Grenada and Cozumel
is about 1500 nautical miles. Assuming an average
speed of 100nm/day, they would get there in about
two weeks. By comparison, the distance across the
Atlantic was almost 2800 nm, but we went pretty
fast, with an average speed of 134nm/day.
We wish the best of wind and weather and, of
course,
