Skies partial clearing.<\/p>\n 2. Route: Note the suggested “tack” to the NW ahead of the front and then “tacking” back to the NE after the front passes. This is the same approach you would take under sail. Whether or not this required for comfort is a question of sea state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\ntowards the NE. Another low pressure system passes from west to east north
\nof your expected position. Associated CF passes overhead the afternoon of 13
\nOct (13Oct 0300Z). Winds increase SEerly 25 kts range. Wind waves 2.0m.
\nMixed swell NW and NE 2.2 to 2.8m. Higher conditions in localized squalls
\nand instability.<\/p>\n
\nContinue on rhumbline course to Cape Flattery. Consider using similar tactic
\nto mitigate rough and unsettled weather conditions in proximity to frontal
\nboundary. Take a short leg to the NWward prior to frontal passage to
\nminimize time spent in adverse conditions. When winds become NWerly, they
\nshould also abate. Then resume rhumbline to Cape Flattery.\ufeff<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
