November 20 Day 2
A hard-SE wind right against us was what we got yesterday. After some
detective work downloading GRIB files, and some support from
colleagues at work we were able to obtain weather reports for the area. We
found that a low pressure is located at Pitcairn Island and will be pumping
up lots of SE wind, the next few days.
So we chose a different approach, taking us north of the low pressure, and
actually steered EASTWARD tonight. On the morning side, the wind decreased and moved
at a more favorable angle for us. Not the most direct route, but we
hope that this is strategically good.
