Delivery back to HK, heading to Hon Chut

At 11:00 today: 11 00.8N 108 56.3E heading to Hon Chut just
south of Nha Trang.  Screenshot from PredictWind tracker.
Predict Wind predictions of wind have been too low, and didn't cover the NE surge early enough.
From Grant yesterday:
...42 knots here at present time for me to look for shelter
Most likely around Hon Chut 11d 50 N 109d 07 E  [near Cam Ranh Bay south of Nha Trang].  See how she behaves on the heading to there.
If wind drops as predicted will allow us to continue north, but their prediction so far well out
Back to the wheel for me.
Cheers Grant


Note: Grant has the Predict Wind predictions and routing on board... "Comfort" routing suggestion by PW was to head East to 113-114, to avoid the NE surge, thence N to HK.  But they unable to do that due to higher winds than forecast.

Current latest "comfort" routing suggestion from PW, below the fold...

Only look at the red and blue dots between the green and pink pins
ignore the other ones to the East, they're earlier tracks....
PW ETA's according to PWG and PWC tracks: late on 5th Jan...
