SYNOPSIS
We first sailed with ARC Europe back in 2017 on ISBJØRN, so it's high time we re-join the cruising rally on FALKEN! Andy & Mia used to be the event managers on the rally back in the day and we know the route well. You can signup for the full rally, or each individual leg. We'll start on the Chesapeake Bay and meet the northbound rally fleet in St. George's, Bermuda. This is one of 59º North's "classic" offshore routes from hometown Annapolis, across the Gulf Stream to the 'Onion Patch!'
typical Weather Pattern
Expect daytime highs averaging in the mid-70s Fahrenheit and cooler evenings. Winds are generally favorable, southerly breezes from 10-20 knots. Expect variable sea states. Early May could have some remnants of winter swells, but the waters will gradually become more settled as the month progresses. Rain is possible, often in short-lived showers, but these typically give way to sun-drenched skies.
