Severe weather warning (red level) because of severe gale with more than 100 km/h, valid from Sunday, 10.05. 01:00 till Monday, 11.05. 16:00. From the Portuguese Weather website today.
A lot of people coming back from the Carib on their way there and also there?
Capnsensible?
 
Hiya. Yeah looks like life is gonna become a bit interesting for a few people. Mebbe the current nasty little low is passing a bit north? But tuesday and wednesday dont look 'fun'.
Marine traffic shows lots of yachts on their way. Add this on to having to anchor to get victuals, big seas and doombug restrictions. Mmm.

My old oppo Colin always reckoned that crossing in May, you get two gales. My own experiences tends to confirm that!

I had a crossing planned for departure about now. Obviously out the window. But as they say, 'June too soon' for TRS, thats when I like to go. Mebbe next year!
