Currently weather has turned from science to arts. The mid term predictions for the North Atlantic are constantly changing and different weather models are not aligned. Good art is timeless and the same applies now for these weather forecasts in the opposite sense. Anything can happen beyond 3-4 days prediction, which is demonstrated by the changing artificial pictures painted over the forecasted area we are looking at.
Tomorrow is a reasonable window to throw the lines and proceed to Funchal. Quite a few fellow sailors intend to jump-start tomorrow from here. The jump comes from the actual weather forecast as the next passage window might only come through in a weeks time or so. I have decided to stay on, right or wrong, let’s see. We are not in a rush and berth at Funchal is only available after the 11th September due to an ongoing regatta.
