Weather Info
DATE: May 17, 2006
Aaaargh! Currently there are no weather warnings for our
area. As we head south we will be increasingly cooled by
air moving up from the far South Pacific and further
cooled by the Peru Current. Ready for long pants and
jackets? Yep we are heading into South America’s autumn.
The swell that is off our stbd. bow will continue for
the next several days, and most likely all the way to
Chile, at about 12 ft. or less with a nice long 12 sec.
period. Winds will be at 20 kts. or less with the
occasional gusts around 25 kts. For celestial, it looks
good for the next day or so. However, the latest GOES
visible satellite image shows extensive marine overcast
hanging a couple of hundred miles off the coast. The
overcast is akin to what we saw off the coast of Baja.
Aaaargh!
