SYNOPSIS
One of our all-time favorite routes, sailing from beautiful Bermuda back to 59º North's spiritual Home Port in Annapolis. April is a little early in the season to be making this passage — meaning it'll be a particularly challenging one. We've got to find the right weather window to get across the Gulf Stream, with cold fronts moving offshore on average of every 3-5 days. It'll be warm in Bermuda and offshore, but will get noticeably colder once we cross the Stream and head up the Bay. A great passage for weather nerds who really want to learn about offshore weather forecasting & routing.
typical Weather Pattern
April often brings a mix of sunny days and occasional rain showers, with the potential for stronger fronts moving through. It will be warm in Bermuda and offshore, but will get noticeably colder once we cross the Gulf Stream and head up the Chesapeake Bay. Wind patterns typically feature prevailing easterly trades, which can shift to southeasterly as you approach the coast. Expect a mix of calm to possible choppy sea state.
