Canada, Halifax to Jamaica, based on a friend's real journey. i have been reading lots of sailing books but i can't seem to find much about this particular route. I would be graciously appreciative if any sailing experts around here could offload any knowledge they possess on this subject. many thanks. JS England |

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? Terry K |
