3rd Day at Sea

Making Miles

Today's strategy is to make miles to the SE, towards our destination and away from the approaching front.

Marine Weather Discussion

THE 18Z GFS AND 18Z NAM WERE VERY CONSISTENT WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE PREVIOUS RUNS ACROSS THE W ATLC THROUGH SAT. GIVEN STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION...NEGATIVE STATIC STABILITIES ACROSS THE GULF STREAM AND THE MODELS TENDENCY TO BE UNDERDONE WITH WINDS IN THESE N TO NE SURGES...HAVE ABOVE AVERAGE FORECAST CONFIDENCE WITH THE GALES DEVELOPING S OF HATTERAS CANYON FRI. WILL AWAIT 00Z MODEL SUITE BUT MAY HAVE TO ADJUST WINDS UP SLIGHLY AT LEAST ACROSS THE GULF STREAM FRI AND FRI NIGHT.

Journal

Another day motor sailing. Received email from F, responding to broadcast email sent by Molly last night. We’re still racing to way points from Chris Parker, designed to keep us in front of the front and into some air. Clouds, low stratus, move in from the west. Don’t look like front clouds. No fish.
