The final month of summer (February is the Southern Hemisphere\u2019s equivalent of August in Northern Hemisphere) is testing both Fedor Konyukhov and his boat for endurance.<\/p>\n
For the third day in a row, the weather remains stormy, and the forecast calls for several more cyclones until February 8.<\/p>\n
On February 2, there will be a short break, only for half a day, before an extremely intense Force 9 storm passes through the area where AKROS is currently located.<\/p>\n
On February 3-4, the wind will reach 45-50 knots, with gusts up to 60 knots. Such wind will raise massive waves 8-10 meters with powerful foamy crests. The main danger is the boat capsizing. And although it is designed as a self-righting vessel, a capsize in these conditions could damage deck equipment and injure the person on board. This must be avoided at all costs.<\/p>\n
