ridges

The thing about crossing an ocean is, if you've got wind, you've got clouds. But every once in a while you have to cross a ridge or skirt a high pressure center, which you pay for through a shortage of wind, but at night you reap the rewards! New Moon to boot! It's just too bad that the next big meteor shower is not for about 10 days.

As I said, right now we're crossing a ridge between the two dominant high pressure centers, trying to get across in time to pick up a front that a low will be swinging by here tomorrow or tomorrow evening. We'll see if we can pull it off. If we can it will significantly help our ETA.
