Help needed sailing Halifax to Jamaica
The "wrong way" route.
It is said It's easier to sail to England, then Africa, then Jamaica,
given the gulf stream, trade winds and seasonal storms.
Traditionally, each leg could also yield profits, while pleasure
sailors seemingly (those who rehearse by tearing up hundreds while
under a cold shower) only enjoy boasting about their maintenance
costs.
Unless you take the inside route down the ICW, another bag of eels if
you are relying on sails.
Sounds interesting, anyway. Why do it?
