Passage conditions: (Updated by 9 AM)
Friday, February 27, 2015
Sea of Abaco: Okay today.
Whale Cay: Scotch Mist reports a 2-3’ roll in Loggerhead Channel, and outside it looks pretty good.
North Man-O-War: Buddy at Mermaid Point reports the cut is flat with just a gentle roll.
South Man-War: Jay of SunDog reports the cut is a flat 5 on their scale of 1 to 5; he has light south breeze at 5 mph, a 1-2’ chop, and outside there’s a 3-4’ long swell.
Tilloo Cut: Jack at Rock Point reports that conditions are the same as south MOW cut.
Little Harbour and North Bar: Gordie at Cigatoo reports LITTLE HARBOUR has a gentle 9-12 mph breeze from the south; the cut is open with a 3-1/2’ swell from the ESE, so it’s a good, safe passage; the south Sea of Abaco has small wavelets; air temperature is 74, humidity is a sticky 95%, and dew point is at 72; the moon is as far north as it gets, so our daytime high tide will be very high; best times for fishing are 6:30 - 8:30 am and 6:45 - 8:45 pm.
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 6,076 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.
