Comparison of
Jenifer Clark's Gulfstream Chart and Standard Navy Chart
In comparing the two sets of
charts below, note the numerous cold eddies, and ocean "current flow" details on
JCG's chart...and the lack of detail and cold eddies on the navy chart for
the same day. Cold eddies have current speeds of 2-7 knots and flow in a
counterclockwise fashion. These features are vital in race strategy with several
Bermuda races won or lost on the detailed knowledge of these
eddies.
