19.21N 62.25W
I'm heading for 20..01n 62..03w at 30 degrees and it sez I shd be there in 8 hrs at this 5-6 knots motorsailing. Very light winds in fact almost none at all.
I subscribed to Predictwind, and it's predicting plenty of the stuff. Perhaps I should have looked for PredictBreeze? I've told the software that I'm headed direct to Lanzarote, which usually takes around 3 weeks. Predictwind finds longer term forecasts,
and then suggests a route. Well, actually, it suggests a very detailed full route but based on the iffy long term forecast - the forecast can (and often does) change. Anyway, it sees a big scary gale in 10 days or so and wants me to go around in a circle
for a few days to let it pass. But of course the forecast that far away might be wrong. Or not. I guess I'll find out.
Sew Nauti Upholstery finished the cockpit cushions and crew covers, very smart. I'll post some pix or I think they've got them up on Instagram. Yeah, red/purple cushions but the crew covers are beige.
