"Hi Ralph,
The departure date for this attempt was set in order to avoid the monsoon. Yes we were aware of when it normally starts and this was taken in to account.
Had we been fortunate enough for the trip to go according to the original plan then Barry would have been well clear of the Monsoon area at least 3 weeks before it started. A series of delays caused by various factors meant that the trip was behind schedule, this all contributes to the position we are in now.
I hope this helps
Pete"
