Ron Brown drifter release strategy

Rick et al.,

I made two drifter simulations, using the "Multiple Drop Mode".

The first simulation release a line of drifters on your leg from 20.5N/38W to 20.5N/32.6W.

The second simulation release a line of drifters assuming you can sail north to 23N at 32.6W.

As you can see, the simulations suggest that you should make most of the drifter release when you sail north toward the east of the WHOI buoy, located at 25N/38W.

Maybe we can try other cruise paths.  What do you think?
