November 24 2014 while sitting in Suva, waiting for weather…
Coin Flip (full) – a highly accurate, weather prediction app.
In the almost three years that I’ve been keeping statistics on weather prediction, I’ve been correct about the weather 19.276 percent of the time while Coin Flip (full) has been accurate 50.012 percent of the time.
Ok, maybe I’m lying, but it’s a lot of fun. Just last night, we let it decide who got the first shower.
We’ve added Coin Flip to our smartphone cruising page.
Speaking of weather, here’s the current scoop. We got the word from our weather router, Bob McDavitt, that a passage departing Suva, Fiji for Noumea, New Caledonia on Wednesday was likely to be OK. Noumea was in our plans way back when we left for the tropics but went away as we spent too much time in Tonga. It’s back! Sailing to New Zealand right now looks unconfortable so we’ll wait in New Caledonia for a while. If weather gets better over New Zealand in the next few weeks, will go there from New Cal. If not, maybe we’ll head to Australia. Stay tuned. -Rich
