Martinique

[N14d44:42, W061d10:64]

We arrived in St. Pierre, Martinique at 2:00 pm today. We had an exciting sail with 20 knots of wind on the beam. Crossroads was sailing along at 8 knots. I think this is a record for her speed. Glenn got a touch of food poisoning last night. Needless to say he was happy to stop today and go back to bed. St. Pierre lies a the foot of Mt. Pelee volcano.
