SYNOPSIS
FALKEN is bound away for new landfalls! Our first-ever passage to Jamaica since starting 59º North in 2015, almost 10 years in the making and an exciting island in the western Caribbean.
From Antigua it’s 900-miles on the rhumb line to Jamaica, downwind the entire way which will make for some great tradewinds sailing and lots of spinnaker potential. We’ll make landfall in iconic Port Antonio on Jamaica’s northeast corner.
Typical Weather Pattern
Expect a delightful mix of tropical weather and balmy breezes with moderate temperatures. Average daytime temperatures during this time hover around 79°F (26°C) with bright sunny skies. Tradewinds from the east-northeast provide a consistent breeze, averaging between 10-25 kts. Expect occasional tropical showers.
