Weather forecasts
Weather analysis and forecast are available from NOAA through short wave radiofax and online sources. The marine charts relevant for us are found here. The "Pacific Surface Analysis" chart shown on the left is the most important one; these are updated and reissued every 6 hours. By clicking on the weathermap picture on the left you will always see the most-up-to-date surface analysis. We will be using this one and others. The red line is the rhumb line from start to finish.We will obtain the maps either by radiofax or through an email triggered auto-response system.
Locate San Francisco at approx. 38North / 123 West, and Kaneohe on Oahu at 22North / 158 West.
