Gulf Stream charts

From the ssca.org site:

Thanks for the response! I checked out the navy site and found a pretty good chart at:

http://weather.navy.mil/home1.html

From there I found Regional Support on the right panel; then clicked on North Atlantic; then under Oceanographic Products I found;

# East Coast Currents and Speeds at Surface (north):
https://www.navo.navy.mil/cgi-bin/graphic.pl/metoc/223/145/0-0-17/32

# East Coast Currents and Speeds at Surface (mid):
https://www.navo.navy.mil/cgi-bin/graphic.pl/metoc/223/145/0-0-17/24

# East Coast Currents and Speeds at Surface (south):
https://www.navo.navy.mil/cgi-bin/graphic.pl/metoc/223/145/0-0-17/16

I think that will do for plotting a few waypoints. Hopefully, Southbound II will still be on the air for weather routing and with luck we'll have a safe and fast passage.

After 30+ years in the USN you'd think I'd know to look at their sites .

Thanks again,
Pete
