From Melbourne to Iceland with love

routes-to-iceland.jpg

Tonight I sat down and charted the sailing routes from Melbourne to Reykjavík. An unusual thing to do on a Sunday night I know but I have been wondering about this for a long time now: when (yes when, not if) I set sail from Australia to Iceland, what route should I take? Well, first I have to see what options I have so I sat down and charted the options. There are six possibilities:

On the map above you can see how these different routes would be sailed from Melbourne. As roaring forties blow from west to east past the south coast of Australia the most sensible option is to go east then north and later turn west in the case of Suez and Cape of good hope. Applications for prospective crew positions are now open. ETA for departure: 06am on the 2nd of May 2018.
