ECMWF, PWE, GFS and PWG: They might as well adorn the pages of Sports
Illustrated wearing skimpy swimsuits because these models don't work for
predicting weather! The wind for this entire passage has been significantly
stronger than advertised. We've had 23 to 30 knots the entire time with the
exception of a brief period last night. The swells have also been larger
than advertised.
And don't get me started on current! Let's just get real and admit that
humankind doesn't have the ability to predict ocean currents and those who
say they can are nothing but this eras snake oil salesmen! We were supposed
to have current with us now, but it's 2 knots against us.
All in all, this passage sucks!
