Making good time, but not enough southing. No Herb yesterday - too much interference. Lost a big fish in the G.S. Folks in good spirits - Life is good.
position @ 1325 35 50 x 72 46. Jack
Just a note to readers... some short hand explanations:
wx = weather
CF = Cold Front
HP = high pressure
BDA = Bermuda
GS or G.S. = Gulf Stream
"Southing" = Headway in the southerly direction

BDA High persists several days. Expect S to SE10-15 to continue. No systems in sight. Too bad about the fish; your rod must be rusty.

Ola, current pos @ 1310 Thur - 33 08 N x 71 31 W. Weather beautiful in Bermuda Azores high, but wind mostly gone, and finally motorsailing after two spectacular days of sailing. Life is good. Jack

I wish for better news, but no sig change. High anchored mid-Atlantic. Low at FL Tuesday does you little good. Expect S to SE10-15 at least to Monday. No tropical disturbances

We're lucking into the best of a bad lot for weather. Wind is indeed on the nose, but light enough (< 7 kts) that we can power into it, and are making good time. Currently (2045 Saturday) about 75 nm from Bermuda (32 58 x 65 56) with an ETA sometime tomorrow morning or afternoon, depending on when the wind builds, and we have to tack in earnest. A flurry of celestial work proceeding apace, and folks are in high spirits. Life is indeed good. Jack
