Atlantic crossing 2023 - 1

Markus and his crew have made their way across the Atlantic.

After an anchor stop at Dickenson Bay Beach, they have now left Antigua behind and are heading for the Azores. The weather window is looking quite promising at the moment. The last few days there has been very little wind in Antigua, but a refreshing trade wind is to be expected in the coming days.

As usual on this route, the trip begins with a close-hauled course. According to the current forecasts, the weak wind zone north of the trade winds could fail this year and the so-called horse latitudes could be crossed with a southerly wind on the west side of a high.

I try to update the Montana's position on this website on a daily basis.
