… when we found out about the muchoviento site going down. For two whole days we had no predictions from a reliable source. It feels like a small catastrophy. With uncertainty we filled our forecast display with the broader predictions of other sites and had to admit to our inability of providing more reliable data. Since the reality ends up being off by more than a step on the Beaufort scale (at least mostly upwards), one starts to dislike answering questions on the topic.

A huge thank you to Michael for his quick problemsolving!

Now we are back to working with currently amazing promises of wind towards the end of the month. A historical best for El Médanoin terms of planing wind days. After the 68 days in a row in 2008 were beaten we are now intent on beating the 72 day streak of 2014 and even the 74 of 2012. From what we can see for now it looks like we will have no trouble in achieving that goal: the next seven days on the forecast make all the wind-starved sailors really happy. Epic!
