Here the latest version.
Basically 6500 miles and 4 months, requiring an avg of 55nm per day.
Given some long legs we should be able to “earn” days to enjoy things in some of the really great spots that are coming up.
Loosely.....(all NM are approx as with everything else!)
Depart Gibraltar Feb 8th for Casablanca (assuming my insurance covers Morocco) 300NM
Depart Casablanca Feb 13th for Canaries 425NM
Depart Canaries Feb 20th for Verdes 800NM
Depart Verdes for Fortaleza, Brazil March 5th 3000NM
Depart Fortaleza April 5th for Trinidad 1600NM
Depart Trinidad April 25th for Key West 1500NM
I don't yet know anything about the crossing to Brazil, my books only cover the typical North of the equator trade wind route, so that's a blank slate right now (I know people do it though).
Armando and I both need visas for the Verde islands, plus I need a visa for Brazil and he needs one for the US....which really complicates things and could involve some sitting around, or skipping someplace or illegal landings.
But all these places are the best spots, the proverbial icing on the cake, the great destinations of sailing that we all hope to get to “someday”.
Now....we just need to get the hell out of the Med (which seems to have become the motto of Severance)!!!!!

Wow, the distance from Verdes to Brazil looks a lot shorter than 3000nm on a mercatur projection.
Near Trinidad is Grenada, where Annie will be starting a professor position at the vet school. Robyn and I may try to visit her in April, we could try to time it with your passing.
