Aspen - Log 14 Friday 7 Dec: Weather Routers



The weather is what we live by, day in and day out. ARC Control sends out a daily weather forecast for us and it is very good to have and it is pretty accurate too.

We also have 2 fellow sailors who are also sending us their forecasts each day. David from Water Music sailed with the ARC and is currently living in Australia where he sends us his forecasts. Steve from Island Kea II also sailed with the ARC and with us for much of our voyage around the world and he is sending his forecasts from England.

So we have 3 forecasts to steer Aspen by and they are really beneficial, although sometimes it doesn't look like our little dot has moved much these weather emails keep us out of a lot of trouble!

We keep reminding ourselves that the best time to the Caribbean by Columbus was 21 days. We now think that by sailing through the Cape Verdes and with light winds we will easily take a LOT longer than that!

Any sign of that refueling ship yet :)

Steve and Maria
