I see what you mean via storm being over but if you look below at the wave graph it seems we will have to sail through orange and red waves? I guess I'm just a bit worried about 7-10m waves at the beginning of the journey without our sea legs. Sigh. I know there's nothing I can do, last time we had "rough" seas and I didn't notice any more motion on qm2 than "slight" seas, but I'm just worried it will be "very rough" or "high" to start.

Hi everyone!

I posted this in general questions but was instructed to repost here--apologies about that!

I'm going to be crossing from Southampton to NYC departing this Thursday may 10.

I've been following the sea height forcast via http://www.stormsurfing.com/cgi/disp...a=natla_height

As you can see there are some nasty north atlantic/arctic storms coming Thursday through Saturday that tend to clear by Sunday. Now, my question is will QM2 captain take a slightly southern course those first two days to avoid the worst of these storms? We certainly would have to latitude to spare as we need to go a bit South anyhow to nyc--but on my last eastward crossing we basically climbed the North American coast and then sailed straight across the Atlantic to England.

So I'm curious because I know qm2 's reputation for seaworthiness and so on wondering if we'd go a bit South to avoid or just barrel on through the worst of it? Looks to be capable of 30 foot waves or so.

What has been your experience via route variability in the standard uk-nyc west crossing on qm2?

Cheers!

Dylan
