Planning to cross the Atlantic with a Hunter 54' from Connecticut to the Balears (Mediterranean). We are seeking suggestions on routes, best time of the year to travel and descriptions of similar experiences.
Andrea, If you can get your hands on the October 2000 edition of Sail Magazine, it has a great article on crossing the Atlantic in both directions. You need to depart Bermuda bu mid/late June and you will have the Gulf Stream and Prevailing Westerlies taking you all the way across. If you will include an e-mail address, I will scan the article and get it off to you. Ben Allen Montgomery, AL "Wahoo" O'Day 26
I'm thinking of sailing accross my Corps of Engineers lake one of these days in my Hunter 340. :-] Good luck. Be safe. I envy your courage and your sense of adventure. Wynn Ferrel S/V Tranquility
Andrea, you might try looking in Jimmy Cornell's book World Cruising Routes. There is a lot of great infomration in there that might be helpful to you. Good luck Charlie Gruetzner S/V Angels' Grace B 361
Dec.15,2000 Dear Andrea, Ben and Charlie have given some good suggestions. Hal and Margaret Roth have made some notable voyages. You might also want to look at Hal Roth's book, I believe titled On the Path of Ulysses, describing their Atlantic crossing in June on their 35 footer and their subsequent Mediterranean voyages.
