I have been mulling over the idea of heading to the Med this summer instead of going west, but I cannot find the necessary time off until July, most likely the latter half of it. I've been looking through the wonderful NOAA
Historical Hurricane Viewer application and it seems that my chances of getting sideswiped by a major storm once I get more than 300 miles NE of St. Martin are pretty low.
Has anyone here done such a late crossing or have any additional information or comments? I don't have access to the pilots from here so I don't know what the wind patterns are going to be like at that time - perhaps the Azores High is going to be my enemy, not the chances of meeting up with an energetic tropical depression.
