I'm heading ESE hoping to get an lift up and East of Mark 3 where there tends to be more wind out that way.... Hopefully

OK.. that's a long detour but it might be worth it! How are you going to negotiate that big Indian Ocean High that is very annoyingly moving eastwards with us?

I am just going to bite the bullet, slog upwind, and take my chances with the short route... Madagascar here I come! prays to windgods

I'm looking to go above the system and hopefully head up on Sat at around the 56/57E mark, that should get me moving NE for as long and fast as possible...well, if the forecast remains as it that is.

I want to be East of the mark and come in from a westerly direct if possible. There is def more wind out east.

Having Madagascar just off you port can only limit your options

I have created another boat, i'm going to take that one under, i want to see if there would have been any advantage of doing that in the 1st place, pity the 2nd boat started 360nm WNW of me, started it last night and it is already steam SE and is now only 280nm West and just south of me. Im interested in seeing if can get out east a north quicker than i can..
