The 50 mile wide by 100 mile long gap between the eastern end of Cuba and the western tips of Haiti has been known as the Windward Passage for a few hundred years. To the North and East lies the North Atlantic Ocean, the “windward” part of the Caribbean. To the south lies the Caribbean Sea. The Windward Passage connects the Atlantic to the Caribbean and is one of the most famous and infamous shipping lanes of maritime lore.
Today however the Windward Passage could be called the Windless Passage, totally calm, no wind at all. We spend the day motoring along, reading resting, sunning and enjoying the gentle ride.
