An atlantic crossing usually involves a huge amount
of broad reach sailing in the trade winds, all downwind from the Canaries to St.
Lucia, and a tiny bit of upwind sailing around the corner of St. Lucia into
Rodney Bay.
However, this time, it is different. A large storm in the
north atlantic has disrupted the trade wind regime. This was noticeable
already a couple of days ago, when we had different wind conditions. Today, we
are even sailing upwind - against approx. 4Bf wind directly from west (instead
of the usual 4-5Bf from the eastern sector).
