At the Copenhagen boat show Jimmy Cornell gave a talk about his many experiences in all parts of the world and on the planning and preparation of ocean voyages. He presented his new and comprehensive Ocean Atlas, based on a thorough update of global weather conditions. Up to now, sailors only have much older information about wind directions to plan a voyage. Hasse Ferrold, President of the International Club Copenhagen (ICC) February 26th, 2012
Last weekend at the Miami Boat show, Jimmy Cornell conducted 3 days of seminars, signed copies of the new Cornell’s Ocean Atlas, and spent a lot of time talking with cruisers about passage planning, pilot charts, and routing. It was a fantastic weekend with fantastic Florida weather and there were lots of WOWs for the new atlas, which will significantly affect the ways cruisers make world voyages. Jimmy also had his proofs for his upcoming book World Voyage Planner and hundreds signed up to pre-order. World Voyage Planner will be released in September 2012. February 17th, 2012
Jimmy Cornell dropped by West Marine’s new Flagship store in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on February 15 to talk with West Marine customers and sign copies of the new Cornell’s Ocean Atlas which had just arrived in the store.
Other cruisers came to say thank you for the excellent advice in Jimmy’s books that had made their passages and circumnavigations successful. And of course, Jimmy personally autographed many atlases for buyers. February 14th, 2012 Jimmy Cornell is sailing from St Martin to the Strictly Sail Miami Boat Show aboard Kitty Cat, an Outremer 49 catamaran. Here is his last report. If you missed them, you will find his earlier reports below:
We had a bit of a drama last night, while anchored at Cat Cay on the edge of the Florida Strait. We had tried hard all of yesterday to make it to Bimini before landfall, but as the skipper did not want to cross the last section of the Grand Bahama Bank in bad light, we decided to anchor for the night in the lee of this small island and continue to Bimini in the morning. We were woken up in the middle of he night by flashes of lightning and heavy rain as a thunderstorm loosened its fury upon us. Suddenly the instruments alarm went off, but as Jean Pierre could not find cause, and the storm had abated, he turned all systems off and we returned to our bunks. This morning, however, as we prepared to leave, we found that nothing worked. No depth, no wind, no autopilot, absolutely nothing. Jean Pierre tried to call the backup service in France but it was closed for weekend.

Here is the 4th of several reports that he is sending along the way. If you missed them, you will find his earlier reports below:
We had carefully timed our landfall at San Salvador to arrive off the island late in the night or just before dawn, heave to if necessary just as Columbus had done all those years ago, then sail along the island’s west coast, stop at Cockburn Town, clear into the Bahamas and start our eagerly awaited mini-cruise. But, as often happens with even the best laid plans, our carefully constructed scenario came apart when we received an email from the Outremer agent in Fort Lauderdale that the boat had to be delivered as quickly as possible to his base as there was of long list of things to do before Kitty Cat could be exhibited at the Miami boat show. With no choice but to proceed at a fast clip to Florida, we decided to stay on an offshore route, pass to the east and north of Eleuthera and then cut across the Grand Bahama Bank along the Northwest Providence Channel to Bimini. Our drastic change of plan cannot have pleased Aeolus because as soon as the decision was taken to sail this route, the trade winds which had given us such an exhilarating ride from the moment we had left St Martin, dropped to next to nothing, so did our speed, and, to make things worse, we also noticed a strong contrary current slowing us down to a few knots.
