Hey All!
As we all get ready to say goodbye to the weekend and start up the new week, Silbo is gearing up to hurtle over a wall!
HyCOM Sea Surface Height and Currents map
Silbo is coming around the south east side of the cold sun eddy over the next day where he will then encounter what looks to be one of the strongest currents we have seen since redeployment. Unfortunately it is flowing north and so Silbo is going to have to fight his way across (hopefully without being pushed too far off course) as we continue on our way to the south east towards Madeira and ultimately the Canary Islands. This afternoon silbo was given a new way point south east of his most recent location to try and fly at an angle to the currents to evade any negative progress.
