Atlantic crossing East to West in early May

[lagoon100]

Hi

What do you Guys think of a Atlantic crossing East to West in early May in an 44' Catamaran.

Leaving Turks and Caicos to Azores and then to Gibralta around the 5. May?

Best regards and merry x-mas

Apart from the fact that TCI to Gibraltar is West to East and leaving in early May will not get you to Gib around 5 May, the route is ok-ish but be prepared to do a bit of motoring in the middle. It would be better to route yourself via Bermuda to get a bit of prevailing wind for the run across to the Azores.

Ops, that was a bad tipping mistake i agree :-), sorry.
Thx for the answer because my major question is if it is to early for a west east crossing in early May.

And that one you answered, great, i do need to buy these books now.

Best regards

Hi Marco, we are a bunch of sailors leaving Plymouth on May 25th going East to West to Newport... in the Ostar. You should be fine going the other way, meet half way?
