Michael,

In a past thread you asked about any Pacific crossing info for next year. Just read this on Noonsight at:

I am planing a Pacific Crossing from Panama to New Zealand in 2010. I just heard that El Nino is back and next year its effect will be quite severe. -Snip-

You are right: next year El Nino could be quite bad... -Snip-

Best regards, Jimmy Cornell

Thought you might be interested in it.
