Your weather routing questions answered! A HUGE thanks to Predict Wind for sponsoring this video. Please visit https://svdelos.com/predictwind to learn more. In this video we discuss the resources available to plan a passage for a North to South passage to the South Pacific, crossing the equator and the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITZC). We show how to use pilot charts, common routes from North America to French Polynesia, using Predict Wind for weather routing and departure planning, and how to stay connected offshore.
