Postponement! The big announcement in today’s race briefing was as follows.
Due to a massive low connecting in with another low over the Bay of Biscay and a large section of the Atlantic Ocean, we are officially postponed until at least Wednesday most likely. This low that is spinning up is looking like it will produce 30 – 40 knots of wind on the nose (SW) coming around Cap Finisterre. The Cap is a particularly tricky area of navigation. Cliffs, high winds and a massive Traffic Separation Scheme that must be avoided, have all added up to an official postponement.
