Just dropped the kiteSailors’ slang for a spinnaker in the middle of what is becoming the longest week of my life at the end of the longest and loneliest and most intense six months since I first went to boarding school in England nearly 60 years ago. Wow! And there's a whale around – wonder if it's the same one Pete and I saw in Biscay in 2005.
Trying to pull in a gribWeather files.
Graphics in Binary file: GRIB files associate a specific weather datum (eg wind velocity or atmospheric pressure) with a geographic position. Because the resulting file is a collection of these points they are extremely small and so ideal over slow links such as sailmail. – LizzieLizzie the Whizzer: Berrimilla's wind generator now has enough apparent wind to charge the battery again – one less problem – and we can use the computer. 345 to bishop rock so a bit under 3 days AGW. We'll decide what we're going to do as we close in – might still press on th Falmouth if the wxShort for ‘weather’ window seems open. Else, a day or so in St Mary's.
