So the weather irregularities that messed us about so much and forced us to turn around now have an official name. Kate. What a lovely name for a Tropical Depression/Storm! I’m not sure what criteria have to be met before a weather system gets christened, but I know they are all bad. We are currently on course, sun shining, 140 miles to go.
