Our Proposed Route

We have been looking at weather windows, hurricane seasons, insurance limitations, touristic value, start location, end location, preferred cruising duration, piracy tendencies, trade winds and prevailing currents.





MonthLocation
AprilFrance, Atlantic Spain, Portugal, Straight of Gibraltar, Spain (med)
MaySouth Sardinia, South Sicily, Malta
JuneGreece
JulyGreece
AugustNorth Sicily
SeptemberSardinia, Corsica, Balearics, exit via Gibraltar
OctoberMadeira, Canary Islands, Cabo verde (maybe)
NovemberCrossing the Atlantic, Martinique
DecemberDominica, Antigua and Barbuda, sint Maarten, saint Martin
JanuaryBritish Virgin Islands



Off course, planning only goes so far on a trip like this, and therefore the plan is not "cast in stone" but rather in wet beach sand with a significant amount of concrete mixed in. More to come on the detailed planning for the individual legs.
