Where to Go
Sadie:
''By the way, have you any experience with "Your First Atlantic Crossing"...?"
Nope. I''ve seen it on the shelves, only.
If you weed out from most guides the info on the destinations (e.g. Azores) and the ''How to prep your boat...'' content, which is available from many other sources, most of the important info which remains is about weather systems, routing strategies, and methods for pulling down wx info. Those are useful topics to have well nailed down for any planned passage, including the seveal scenarios you are currently considering. Give some good thought about how you plan to obtain useful wx f''cast data when in the Boonies (there are a number of alternatives, depending on what radio equip. you have on board), but the trick is to have a plan and to know how to use the info you get. (I continue to find it challenging to understand wx systems and so it remains a ''learn as I go'' effort on my part...but at least I know from where I''m trying to get what info!<g>)
