Jacob made what seems logical choice of not stopping at Tamana, but he did send this picture as he went by at about 5.3 nmi off. Recall that all pictures taken at sea seem to diminish what you actually see. He could tell that the surf was indeed really rugged from this distance off.
He did see a fishing boat but no lights at night at all.
Here are conditions looking forward from Mar 2 with FV3 GFS model. This assumes a rhumb line (RL) route at 1.5 kts.
But for the moment he is really trucking, 60 nmi /day = 2.5 kts. This would lead to these conditions, which go different some on Tuesday, but all light conditions.
Here is a video report. note that the two current models do not agree.
