In the Feb 2 post i had missed one red dot, so progress was not as good as it seemed. But now we have confirmed about 35 nmi a day in the right direction.New to the data are extended BOM wind forecasts up to 96h . If you step through these winds you will see his winds are veering around to the east over the next 4 days.
We also expanded the oscar and rtofs current range to cover present location. these forecasts do not agree.
Plus add a new RL from feb2 position to Cairns
Will add video shortly to discuss this and look at ways to plan ahead on such an unusual voyage which will introduce the use of LuckGrib for weather routing.
Plus a note on a new way to access the data which i just learned about. this is the GE menu item "add network link."
Hope to get the video going today feb 4 or tomorrow.
