Weirded out weather gods

Article Abstract:

The way in which boat Freya 39, Faster Horses sailed through the South Atlantic coast of Brazil in changing weather is described. The weather of this coast is changing due to the presence of an offshore high that tends to trap low- pressure systems along the coast and could force lows to merge into monster storms.
