That Azores Trip, input required

[ianwright]

Those of you who are still planning to come with us to the Azores next year please put your minds to this,,,,,,,,
Some skippers have asked for a firm(ish) start date to help them with their planning.
(See http://www.bymnews.com/cgi-bin/data...opicID=00000310/firstrecord=0/finalrecord=39/ )
My original idea was to get to Falmouth towards the end of May and leave when the weather was fit.
I have the advantage of being retired and having a very understanding wife so I can afford to be a little casual in my timing, others I'm told, are not so lucky,,,,,
So then, do YOU want a firm start time? Would a "window", say last week of May to the first week of June suit you better? How about a time to arrive in Horta and start when you wish?
Please tell me , here or by PM, what would suit you best though naturally as always each skippers decision is his affair.

For those mildly curious about the weather during this trip, It would appear from the Pilotage charts for and <A target="_blank" HREF=http://pollux.nss.nima.mil/NAV_PUBS/APC/Pub106/106jun.pdf>June, that june would be the better month assuming that the law of averages is still alive and kicking

BTW dont open these links unless you have broadband, and you would do better to save them to your harddrive and then open them!
