I was watching the NOAA weather and WindGuru and chose my window. My intent was to sail from the BVI straight to Antigua, but the wind from the NW was right behind me, as were the big north swell waves, so the boat was flopping about so I opted for 20 degrees less and a fast passage. I have AIS and only had 1 tanker cross my path and 3 boats going the other way (motoring from SXM to the BVI!) and I was surprised that nobody else chose that weather window to make the trip. I did see one mast far behind me at the beginning of the trip but no radar echo and don't know if it least one other boat was doing the same as I.
I just arrived in Antigua - the RORC600 boats here have for the most part given up the race due to light winds and I had to motorsail much of the way here. Very rare weather conditions for this time of year.
