This spring time passage from the Cape Verdes to the Azores should be a relatively benign close reach in mostly settled conditions. For those wishing to experience a blue-water passage without committing to a full blown ocean crossing, this would be a wise choice. Interesting ports on both ends with a spectacular, historical landfall in the Azores will reward us after a few long days at sea.
