Hi,
Got a crossing to do in Jan/ Feb 2007 from near Antigua to Gibralta.
What are the thoughts on how far north to go before I turn right.
I have looked at the routing charts and they are pretty inconclusive
with the slightly preferred being to head up to about 30N and then go
East.
What does the group think
Jeff

You have the choice of the northern route with the prevailing westerlies,
and freezing to death, or the warmer southerly route, which could turn into
a 3000-mile beat.
