I'm curious myself. Have tentative plans to do a crossing in late November,
big hop will be from the Canaries to Antigua, wondering what the weather
might be like.The folks that give you any grief aren't worth bothering
about.

Well, I flew to England and got on the boat there. From there, we
sailed down to the Canaries. The crossing (specifically) was from the
Canaries.
Does that answer what you were asking? I'm not really sure I
understand what information you were looking for.

You've more than answered my question. Thank you!
I wouldn't mind hearing a bit more about your crossing??????

I hesitate to plaster the ng with paragraph after paragraph of my
experiences (ego). Makes me feel like I'm a Bobsprit, recounting the
latest "offshore" adventure with a boatload of professional "models,"
or a Jax, dispensing "scientific" wisdom to the low-IQ proles. I'd
rather do this kind of thing in personal e-mail; but yours is spoofed.
So, my preference would be for you to e-mail me a real e-mail address
and I'd shoot you a missive. Alternatively, I guess I *could* just
post something in this thread; at least, it'd be about sailing, unlike
so many threads here.

In either case, it'd be next week before I'd have the time to write it
up 'cause this is a busy week at the Maier household.
