I remember reading on here about someone who made that trip...there may be others...where you going?..my 22 is on an inland lake..my longest trips are a few miles or so...good luck
The fellow's name is Odie Lingle, and not only did he go to Bermuda, but he continued (single-handed) on to the Azores and, ultimately, to Ireland. Quite a feat, I'd say. I recently contacted him to see how he was doing, and due to some life circumstances he has given up sailing. But, he sure had a heck of a run!
That's my plan exactly. Not trying for any exploits. Just confident that a small well-found vessel can sail across. Thanks for the info. Alistair Buchanan, a Brit sailed his Hurley 20' bilge keeler across from West to East because that's the boat he had and felt confident in it.
