We downloaded and printed our first weather fax yesterday afternoon. It's actually pretty amazing that we are able to copy a weather chart from the SSB radio. It really helped visualize what Herb is talking about during his nightly discussion.
Ostinato continues to lead a pack of 5 boats heading for the Azores. Herb advised that the storm continues to move due east and we should expect increased winds by Friday. While our outlook continues to be better than the others, we all know that could change depending on where this thing decides to go. The extra distance appears to have been a good decision for now. Also received an email from Bob Parker providing more specific coordinates and detailed discussion of the system. We began night watch feeling much better informed than we had begun the day.
The weather continues to be clear with mild winds. Ivor reported the night sky was spectacular on his watch.
