Back to checking weather
Now that back traveling again, away from our little hidey-hole in Hog Island, we once again have to regularly check on the weather. Not that we didn’t do that at least once per day while in Grenada, but now it’s on a different scale. In Grenada we had little plans to be sailing island to island and thus were primarily concerned with large tropical disturbances that could cause us problems in our protected anchorage. Now that we’re on the move again, we’re looking for wind and sea conditions which will make our travels pleasant.
One source I was checking today to find out what we “might” see on our way towards St. Martin is PassageWeather.com. It sure would be nice to be able to sail to get there!
Mike – sorry if I missed it, but can you do an update post on where/when/route of your next leg of cruising?
Love the blog!
Hey Doogie
The day-to-day details of the “plan” are ironed out… day to day. For example, we just decided this morning to take a 270 mile shot at St. Martin, departing tomorrow. The basics of the plan are described at the top of this page though:

Looking at Passageweather.com today as well. Great minds……….. 😉

Looks good. But 270M @ 5knots = 54 hrs. Long way!
Mike
That matches my math exactly. 🙂
