Friday 24 July
I received the 15:00 weatherfax for the 24 hour forecast. It showed the low at 40 degrees north, 55 degrees south, exactly where we were. We immediately stopped sailing comfortably south-east and started motoring hard straight south. The effort is to get south of the bad weather, and to where the wind will be from the south-west instead of from the east like it will north of the low.
If you want to look at the general wind patterns, google Passage Weather.
So now we are motoring south, loud and uncomfortable.
