Passage conditions: (Updated by 9 AM)
Thursday, January 29, 2015 Elbow Reef Light is undergoing repairs 1/24 - 2/2, so it will be closed those dates and may be dim or even out some of the time.
Sea of Abaco: Troy at Dive Guana reports whitecaps in the middle, fine in the lee.
Whale Cay: Nothing heard.
North Man-O-War: Troy reports the cut has a 3-4’ short swell.
South Man-War: Jay of SunDog reports a turbulent 2 on their scale of 1-5; he reports a NNE breeze of 19-20, a choppy sea, breaking across the cut; not advised.
Tilloo Cut: Betsy at Rock Point reports this cut, facing south and in the lee, has whitecaps -- you could do it, but it’ll be wet.
Little Harbour and North Bar: Gordie at Cigatoo reports LITTLE HARBOUR cut, running north to south, has 18-24 wind, gusting to 28, lots of whitecaps, get your bow up in the cut, a wet ride, with a NNE 4’ swell at 9 second intervals; out in the ocean, stay in the lee, since seas are 8-9 feet farther out; air temp is 67 (wind chill of 61), 66% humidity, dew point at 55, and his barometer is at 30.21, rising; best time for fishing is 8:30 - 10:30.
Gordie at Cigatoo reminded us last winter that, on our charts and gps, 1 degree is 60 nautical miles, 1 minute is 1/60th or 6,000.076 feet, and one second is 101 feet. Thanks, Gordie!
Thanks so much to our volunteers who give these reports!
Please remember that we are just trying to help out with these reports. You are the captain of your vessel so the decision will be yours alone.
Updates thanks to Jill P.
