I used passageweather recently to give info to boat enroute from
Easter Island to Valdivia, Chile. It was a very accurate forecast and I was very impressed. The only discrepancy was in the timing and then only by a few hours.
If they are as accurate in the Atlantic it will be a very worthwhile resource.

Ooer. It shows a slight NNE around the canaries, and then a once about 600 miles south there's more wind from the East all the way to the caribbean! I'm *definitely* not going out in that! Couldn't you have told us about this earlier?

Re: Arg! Trip cancelled

It looks terrible. I hope I'm not that unlucky when I cross in Jan 09, do you think the wind might have improved by then? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
