Re: Pipedream\'s progress in the Jester Challenge

Checked the Ugrib animation and that seems to show favourable, though not overly strong, winds through to Friday for him. Might be a bit slow but at least it's the right direction.
Thanks again Gary, much appreciated

Gary - if you want weather for Biscay then look at passageweather.com then North Atalantic then Bay of Biscay. Light winds may persist for a bit. Nice to have better news /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Roger

Re: Pipedream\'s progress in the Jester Challenge

Hi Gary - bit quiet on here as we have been sailing - no surely not when it's sunny and a decent breeze - disgraceful I know.

Not sure where Alan found NE wind cos it ain't on the forecast - next report will be better.
