Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 24, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Another good site I use is a Wave Projection Model - It shows a 7 day animated visual forecast. Really good to see what is to be expected http://www.stormsurfing.com/cgi/display.cgi?a=natla_height Current model looks like a smooth crossing with 3-11 feet (1-3.5 Meter) swells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaynors Posted April 24, 2023 #11 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Update from the Connie..we are 3 days east of Bermuda, in the middle of the Atlantic. Wind is from the west so condition on top decks are great, not windy at all. We are also riding with the swells so the barf bags that were in the stairwells have been put away and the outdoor pool is open again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 26, 2023 Author #16 Share Posted April 26, 2023 4/25/2023 we were in Bermuda. Temps 65~68. In afternoon got some light drizzle Seas were smooth 1-2 feet As we head out on 6 days at sea weather looks like it will deteriorate. As an aside I suffer from migraines and my main trigger is when a low pressure front moves in. Suddenly at 8pm I had a feeling and ran back to room to get my meds. I have about a 15 minute window. Caught it in time and of course Iain said why didn’t you have one on you. I checked Windy and sure enough Sure enough low right over us pulling in the winds and seas will be picking up. Waves to increase overnight from 1-3 ft to 7-9 feet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 26, 2023 Author #21 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Current Location - Started heading on a North Easterly path to Cobh. Anyone on Silhouette with a forecast - Stateroom attendant just let us know he will have to bring all our furniture into room tonight due to impending rough seas and high winds. Now I need to do some research. Currently not overly windy and 3-5 foot seas as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare gardengalaz Posted April 27, 2023 #24 Share Posted April 27, 2023 We are currently on day 8 of our crossing aboard the Silhouette. Since leaving Bermuda 4 days ago, it's been very cold and raining quite a bit and the wind has been strong to the point that all exterior decks have been closed to passengers. It's been rocking and rolling non-stop, but not bad from a seasoned cruiser's perspective. Here's a little video I just captured from our sunset veranda stateroom. I would have stepped outside to take a better video, but our veranda floor is sopping wet. Movie on 4-27-23 at 1.46 PM.mov 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 27, 2023 Author #25 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Thanks for advice on Windy.com. It’s identical to app. I should have known that as I’m more of a pc kinda guy. So much easier to navigate on pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
