What does it take to cross the atlantic. Our safety gear was in order long ago. We have an experienced crew. We have loaded up the Diesel tank and the supplies. The boat has been checked, the rigging has been inspected, the rudder has been inspected, and the engine service has been quite recent. We know how to use the sat-phone for the weather forecasts. Our medical supplies are all topped up.
Our plan is to sail from La Linea in Spain to the Grenadines. Depending on the wind we may make a short stop in either Madeira or the Canary Islands. Our strategy is to sail South, to catch the trade winds and then west towards the Grenadines. We will use the grib files to predict the exact location of the trade winds.
Now all it takes is: The courage to remove the lines tying us to the La Linea Marina.

ReplyDeleteFair winds! We're still in La Rochelle (our Helia just launched yesterday) but we hope to be following you across later this year.
