DISTANCE TRAVELLED: 327 Nm (30 Hours)
WIND: 10kt 220T
WEATHER: Clear Sunny
NEWS:
There has been little change in the forecast since yesterday so we made the decision to make a stop in Bermuda. The calm sea and light breeze today were little indication for what is to come.
The forecasts show a front moving off the east coast of the states and heading directly across our path. The computer models are divergent as to how the weather will shape up over the next few days but it is likely that we will be here until Monday at earliest.
The upside is that there are certainly worse places to wait out a frontal passage.
