Hurricane update - 1 February

Tropical cyclone 12P has formed in the South Pacific and is threatening the Northern Cook Islands as well as French Polynesia including Tahiti. This could become quite a nasty system; the current forecast is for winds up to 95 knots (115 mph) near the centre by Wednesday.

For reference: normal blogging will resume on Atlantic Lines on Wednesday 3 February.
