Gib to the Azores

[Skabenga]

Hey brains trust and salty dogs - I need some advice -I am planning a passage - Gib to the Azores and then onto Ireland/Scotland - please can you guys give me some advice as to time of year to do this.. I have read I should wait till early summer once the Azores high is stable. any advice would be welcomed.

This is a good time, I usually go Gib, Madiera, Azores as the wind and currents once past Sao Vincent push you S and I prefer the beam to broad reaches to a beat.. and Madiera is a nice stop over.
