As for weather, professional forecasters Dane Clark and Chris Parker say to wait until the next low pressure system comes through on Monday night or Tuesday morning before departing for Bermuda. That system will likely produce squalls and thunderstorms and have some gale force winds associated with it. But boats are moving. Miracle and Daydreamer are leaving Mamaroneck tomorrow morning heading our way. Wind Runner is departing Westerly for Block Island tomorrow afternoon or Monday morning. Wind Runner will have a day at the beach before Miracle and Daydreamer catch us.
As for ocean currents, professional forecaster Jenifer Clark says we stand ready to have a great ride right down the rhumb line directly to Bermuda. There is a perfect set of eddies in place, one warm eddy north of the Gulf Stream, and one cold eddy south of the Gulf Stream. We will ride the eastern edge of the warm eddy, and the western edge of the cold eddy. We may get a four knot boost for a substantial part of the voyage.
