Hello All,
We are set to depart on Thursday morning. The weather forecast shows a large high pressure system coming over our route following the departure of a nasty low today and Wednesday. As the high settles in we will have following winds to the gulf stream, moderate winds while crossing the stream and favorable winds afterwards. The sea will be somewhat lumpy from the low during our start but will lessen as Thursday continues.
The image is a screen shot of our navigation software and shows quite a lot of information. The red boat is Sandwitch and the red line is our proposed route. The red dot shows the optimal location to cross the Gulf Stream and Bermuda is at the end of the red line. The colors show the sea surface temperature so you can see that warm water is flowing up the coast and into the north Atlantic (the gulf stream). On the left of the image you can see the two Hs. This is the high that we are waiting for. We will update you along the way...
