Re: Miami to Azores passage.

Hi Guys,

I'm struggling a little with planning this trip. Last year was easy as I didn't have any work obligations but now i have to pay for last years travels so I most definitely do have to go to work when I'm asked.

My issue is only having a between 3 - 4 weeks off and the Miami to Azores leg is 18 days.

Here's my question:

Weather wise, could I sail Miami to Bermuda in June (leave it there and go to work for 1 month) then,

Bermuda to Azores in August (this is the trip that worries me) back to work for September then,

Azores to Balaerics in October?

I've contacted Chris Parker and he's all set up as our weather guru. I'll ask his thoughts on the above also but I value you guys real life experiences in the months in question.

Other considerations are Marinas in Bermuda and Azores and the cost. My insurance says in out of the hurricane zone in Bermuda so I'm covered after July 1st. We have thought about alternatives but ruled them all out, we have to get the boat back to Europe for another season.

Anything else I should be thinking about?
