Eye of the storm

Lets say somehow you managed to get smack dead in the center of this eye. What course would you plot? Why? Perfect eye huh? Joe |

I think it is a lot more interesting what to do not to get there - both in the sense of avoiding the hurricane at all and in the sense of minimising the dangers if you cant. Don't get into the dangerous quadrant. If caught in the eye: I think I would sail full speed toward SW while in the eye - if possible. (I assume the hurricane moves toward ENE). This should increase my chances of getting or staying south of the track later on. When the wind increases again, there probably won't be much of a choice, since immediate survival will be the priority, but ideal course would be ESE or SE. Peter S/Y Anicula |
