We're watching tropical depression Darby which has not dissipated as originally projected t and is now forecast to cross the track of the fleet, potentially becoming an issue for those boats at the end of the fleet. We have consulted with Rick Sheema, The Weather Guy, and Commander's Weather and have provided their input to the Pac Cup communications boat. We have authorized all boats to consult with any professional weather routing service without penalty.
The preparation and equipment requirements for Pac Cup boats help to ensure that they are prepared for heavy weather that could be encountered between California and Hawaii. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates to the fleet.
