Has any one sailed or motor sailed directly from the VI to the Acores?
Typically, people seem to go to Bermuda first then to the Acores. Of
course the more favorable winds can be found on that passage but I do
have 650-mile range motoring and would love to cut out the 500 mile
out of the way stop to Bermuda. The pilot charts indicate variable
winds through much of the areas when a direct rout would take me.

Any comments would be appreciated.
