are generally arranged so as to start in
Beaufort, SC and proceed south to the coast of
South America. The smaller maps below precede
weather links for the area shown on the map. A
red line (or dashed red line) shows the general
path that Lucy will take on her journey south.
But the red line is ONLY an approximation. For LARGE
