Latest Gulf Steam analysis.
Right
now the GS is doing a little wiggle to the east off Cape Fear, which makes
routing more complicated than the last time we made this trip. If we were to leave
today we would have two major alternatives 1. get across early and then go south
or 2. work our way down the east coast and go across further down south. In this case, we should let weather define our routing. If the weathers iffy, then the coastal
route makes more sense and gives us options to duck into if necessary.
Usually the GS is a bit more west of its current location off Cape Fear at this time but
suspect when we get around to November, that will be the case. Also
looking for a nice southbound eddy like the one we found on the last trip but don't see anything to get excited about just yet.
