philham Posted April 8, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Anybody on the April 5th TA who can tell me how the water and temperature conditions are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted April 8, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Assume you are going next year? Current weather and seas don't absolutely tell you about future weather and seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philham Posted April 8, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Wrong assumption. Going in two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted April 8, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Wrong assumption. Going in two weeks. But my statement still applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie51 Posted April 8, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Do water temperatures change a lot in two weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted April 8, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Do water temperatures change a lot in two weeks? Probably not, but the OP asked about seas, and weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YlangYlangF9PB3E Posted April 9, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'm curious, too, as I have friends on this cruise. Was hoping to see someone onboard post a "live from" thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie51 Posted April 9, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Probably not, but the OP asked about seas, and weather. Thank you for responding. I recently watched a Titanic special and there was information about a Labrador current that can affect a dramatic change in water temperature. I was thinking those circumstances would only happen in the far northern parts of the Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serendipity1499 Posted April 9, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Do water temperatures change a lot in two weeks? Probably not, but the OP asked about seas, and weather. Water temperatures s do not change rapidly, but seas & the weather can change daily & rapidly.. Cruiser Bruce is correct.. No one can predict what the seas & weather will be like even a week from now! Weather forecasters are good predictor's, but are often wrong.. We've been boaters for the past 25 years & even the weather reports we get on our ship's radio from NOAH are often wrong for the area in which we sail.. We'll go out on a clear sunny day & three hours later be hit by a storm at sea.. My DH will rarely turn back, but one night when we were crossing from Carrabelle, Fla. across the Gulf to Tarpon Springs, Fla. a terrible lightning storm came up.. I was asleep & woke up to hear DH & my Friend's DH (on another boat) on their radio's discussing if they should turn back or not.. DH called me & asked me to come into the cockpit immediately & take the wheel, so he could disconnect the radio & auto pilot.. Fortunately we were able to get through the lightning storm without problems, but it was very iffy.. Therefore we plan for the worst weather & are happy when it's lovely.. /SIZE] Edited April 9, 2015 by serendipity1499 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
