este año los hielos de la rotura de los icebergs
han bajado mucho de latitud

hoy figuran en la mente de los competidores pero no precisamente
los hielos de sus gin tonics....je je

Ice is today on the collective mind of competitors in the IMOCA Ocean Masters New York to Barcelona Race and unfortunately not for their gin and tonics.

día 6 de junio



por fin hoy se han podido izar los spinnakers,

se ha pasado el final de la zona restringida por hielos
que realmente no ha interferido en la ruta

las temperaturas han subido
el color del mar se mantiene gris oscuro

al safran le quedan 1829 millas hasta gibraltar

delante tienen una zona sin viento de alta presión
por lo que se producirá la compresión de los barcos
acercándose entre ellos

los vientos están bien, bastante estables, el mar está plano
bonito con mucha humedad
de momento el rumbo será directo hacia Gibraltar

Guillermo Altadill con el neutrógena va a 10-12 nudos
de velocidad con spy, a la expectativa del ángulo del viento
mas favorable para tener mayor velocidad en elrumbo


desde Hugo Boss Pepe Ribes van con 15 nudos de viento
a 130 grados del viento intentando alcanzar al safran



.
.

[maka]

mejor pasar las azores por barlovento
entre las islas pueden quedar desventados
ó sufrir rachas de vientos no adecuados para spi

esta es la intención del gaes, que está virando
hacia NE

DAY 9 EVENING UPDATE: SLOW, FRUSTRATING NIGHT AHEAD
ph-article-img-lrg

Posted on June 10, 2014

Mid-afternoon Safran, race leader of the IMOCA Ocean Masters New York to Barcelona Race, was just over 200 miles due west of Lisbon.

However while in terms of an Atlantic crossing this is the equivalent of being able to ‘smell’ the land, a night of pain looks set to be in store for the French team.

Between Safran’s present position and the Portugese coast lies a high pressure ridge. Assuming the weather forecast files are correct, then Safran will ghost into the west side of this in ever lightening southsouthwesterly winds this evening. When she reaches the centre of the ridge there will be precious little wind and Marc Guillemot and Morgan Lagravière will be focussing on the hunt for the slightest zephyr. They will only know they have escaped the clutches of the ridge when the wind fills in from the northnortheast.

According to the high resolution GRIB files, the distance across the ridge, or the distance between the SSWerly wind dropping below five knots and it filling in at this speed from the NNE is around 130 miles.

Over the course of today, the teams have been positioning their boats according to where they believe it will be best to cross the ridge - typically where the passage across is shortest. GAES has already committed to a southerly route, and Safran has also been putting some more south into her heading over the course to today. In comparison the present trajectories of Hugo boss and Neutrogena suggest they will cross further north than the race leader.

High pressure systems are notoriously difficult to forecast accurately, but there will be two points to watch come tomorrow morning – how much the chasing boats, in particular Hugo Boss and Neutrogena have caught up on Safran as she has slowed going into the ridge and whether Hugo Boss has managed to hang to second place.
