In this informative YouTube video, the sailing crew of Sailing Vessel Delos shares their passage planning and weather routing strategies for their upcoming Pacific Ocean crossing from Mexico to the Marquesas. They discuss their favorite resource, “World Cruising Routes,” which provides sailing routes and seasons for different regions of the world. They also mention the importance of considering the doldrums, an area of unsettled weather where the North and South Pacific systems meet. With the help of Predict Wind, an exceptional weather routing and communications service, they are prepared for their approximately 3000-mile journey, which could take up to four weeks depending on the extent of the doldrums.
