record run?
The big tri Groupama is on a record attempt for the Jules Verne that is really getting interesting. 8,556 mile to go and the weather is really nasty.. Navigator Stan Honey posts this update in our forum…
The grib data is pretty good for 4 days or so, and broadly useful out to 6 days. Use mostly GFS and ECMWF/CEP. Now tangling with the low that we have been worried about for several days. The timing of the low is not great for us, forcing us to sail extra miles. Better if it slowed down a bit. Zonal flow makes these systems faster than ideal for us. Follow along..
