We had our first day of showery rain yesterday and today its proper rain and wind. To the extent that the Captain has decided not to dock at Devil's Island as it was too dangerous and rough to tender off passengers. This did not particularly bother us as we were not leaving the ship in any case as there are too many ghosts in Devil's Island. Devil's Island was French penal colony renowned for 100 years of cruelty and injustice, including political prisoners. Of the 80,000 prisoners imprisoned in Devil's Island only 2,000 were ever returned.
