Weather file for Thursday 16th AprilI have posted above the weather grib image for Thursday 1200 hrs when we expect to depart Palma and make our way to Cagliari, in southern Sardinia. Once there we will pick up another crew member, bringing our complement to four, before departing for Sicily, where there will be another brief stop. Our route to Istanbul will take us across southern Italy and Greece turning north east as we pass through the many islands that crowd the charts between Greece and Turkey.
For now we monitor the weather and provision Fenix with dry goods and water, while we have also been cooking and freezing meals and soups. Over the coming days fresh goods will be purchased for the passage and works carried out where necessary and finallised around the yacht prior to departure.
The initial signs are for a good start to the initial leg of the trip with average winds from the south west. These winds are expected to moderate before our arrival in Sardinia, but we shall continue to monitor the weather systems over the next few days. I hope you will log on and follow the events of the passage which I will try and update as often as possible.
