Default Atlantic crossing

I can't help you with the route but I wonder :: why are you leaving the
Caribbean in the middle of winter? I thought that is when folks like to be
there.

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
Jeff

If I recall... Jeff does "deliveries"... which is probably the case
in this thread of his.

Best regards

Bill

Hi chaps,
No not a delivery skipper, just a bloke who has done a few miles and
has agreed to bring back a boat for a mate from W/I to Croatia, where
he wants it for summer

Having experienced, on several occasions, the North Atlantic in winter when I
was in the Royal Navy, there is no way anyone could entice me out there in a
small boat. Have you any idea at all what the conditions are like at that time
of year?
I would suggest waiting until April or even May and then head up the centre to
Bermuda, then to the Azores, then on to Gib. If your mate wants his boat
earlier than that, I'd tell him to get it himself.
