So it took a few more days before Dignity did set sail. She left sometime in the morning yesterday. Right now she’s making her way across the Bay of Biscay<\/a>. Distance covered each day is not great so far. I am assuming this is due to the less than ideal conditions. Once she rounds the NW tip of Portugal I’m hoping headway will improve.<\/p>\n

I understand there are two possible stops en route. One in Portugal and one in the Canaries.<\/p>\n

In the meantime I have found some more interesting websites.<\/p>\n

This one<\/a> is mesmerizing. It provides an animated forward prediction of wave heights. At time of writing it looks like something nasty arrives in the Bay of Biscay in a couple of days. Hope Dignity and her crew can make it out in time.<\/p>\n

This one<\/a> shows wind directions over the Atlantic. At time of writing you can see how the prevailing winds will be in our \t\t\tfavour once we round the top of Portugal.<\/p>\n

Final thing. The boat manual arrived today. I am going to have an excellent evening pouring over diagrams. What more could I want? A boat of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
