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

It's different each year.
The question isn't how far north, but how far north without hitting
ice bergs, lad. Go to the library and check out Jimmy Cornell's $50
book on the subject. Good luck to you.
