Blue Note passed the half-way point and is now on a rhumb line for La Gomera.
Winds are reported to be light from NW and they are alternating sailing with motor-sailing.
All this while trailing one of Blue Note's lure.
No more rough sea and strong winds from here to La Gomera.
If anything it looks like Blue Note tomorrow will have to motor through a High pressure.

 

Track of Blue Note as Oct. 15 @ 00:00 UTC


Boat speed of Blue Note - it probably has some low points because of tacking in between the SPOT coordinates.


GFS model. Expected Weather conditions tomorrow Oct 16 @ 12:00UTC and predicted Blue Note position.
