Up until mid October

Sailing on the blue rhumb line will mean light winds more or less on the nose - lots of diesel.

Longer route but reasonable sailing winds - follow the yellow route. (only 360nm longer = 3 days - but save fuel etc)



-----------------------------------

Could you return here around the 3rd week in October and we should get a better fix.

?? are you on the radio for weather conditions ?
