Yup. Flights booked to Antigua 17 and 18th April. Hubba.

That sounds like an excellent event - well worth attending if you are planning a trans atlantic trip for the first time.

I wrote a blog that also offers some tips: http://www.halcyonyachts.com/top-5-tips-crossing-atlantic/

If you do get the opportunity to cross the pond then I highly recommend it!

We were members of the The CA and went to that before our Atlantic crossing, all good advice.

For my next transat, number 11, one will be waving to the poor people from the fly bridge of this:

As you do.

And we will be waving back, just with one finger, muttering "God, that's one f'ugly boat'.

In the eye of the beholder! I see your one and raise you two.

Someone from the Manky Old Boat brigade will doubtless be along shortly to point out the error of your ways.

Us too, to a similar event at the CA before our crossing. Super helpful people.

I will never forget the crossing. Loved it.

Just occasionally 'handing down' decisions to the muggles....

And gesturing languidly for a 'top up'.

Question to anyone who went to offshore communication part of the talk...Was Iridium Go mentioned?

Reason for asking: mailasail don't sell Iridium Go and I'm wondering how objective the talks by vendors are
