Below are a few words from Michel Meulnet of Sea Rout which explain the struggle that Serge has had for the past two days:
“Difficult conditions:
For the past 48 hours Serge has been struggling with conditions that are not favorable to progression; they are causing him to go backwards. There is a headwind as well as a contrary courant which is driving Middleton backwards. This area has to be crossed to reach favorable currents that will allow him to reach his destination. Today a good portion of the area has been crossed and from tomorrow Serge should experience a favorable progression.”
