Good lead, LK7. Well done.
Yes, it now seems possible to access some shorter-term weather
forecasts a few times without using a card. And there's a new
Windguru option.

Yes a short term 24 forecast, but It doesn't give me any clues
which way to go!
It would seem that after Prince Edward the stronger winds are to
the North but that means tracking back into the fleet (and LK7).
On the other hand windy.com has some more traditional and
favourable south Atlantic winds blowing up to the south over the
next few days. It's going to be uncomfortable to stay south and
get through some headwinds, but I think that's my favoured
course. I'll have a look in the morning. LK and the fleet
should have to track North also, so they may leave room.
Then again - there's another more important race tomorrow, while
I am getting more sucked into this one!
