[status] (Posted at 1700 UTC 11/18) Baro peaked noon Mon, and spot mare's tails noon Tue; expect to cross weak front and swap the running backs Wed near 26 20S and 176E. WeFax from ZKLF still illegible on all frequencies, but models giving us half the story, synopsis emails a bit more; we just make up the rest...then we tune into Gulf Harbor Radio! Still riding the clutch and gently tapping the breaks in order to ride over the ridge Fri AM near 28S and 174E. Slowest passage I can recall, but silky smooth and steady, and right now that's what counts.
