Tim Lemeer | The Art of Weather Routing & Ocean Sailing to South Africa - LWP #3

How do you decide when to sail to South Africa, when the weather is changing continuously, and the wrong decision can have serious consequences? My guest is Tim Lemeer, my Dutch weather router, who helped me plan my passage for three years now. Today we talk about how to navigate to South Africa. In this conversation, we go behind the scenes of ocean passage planning. We talk about weather systems, routing strategies, risk management and the relationship between a sailor at sea and the person helping from shore. Because good weather routing is about much more than following a line on a screen. It's about understanding the bigger picture, recognising your options and knowing when the best decision is to change course — or wait.
