How long will it likely take me to cross the Pacific ocean in a small motorless sailboat?
If I depart from the Oregon coast late this month, how long will it take for me to cross the Pacific?
I plan to use the California and Southern Equatorial currents, eventually making landfall in New Guinea or the Philippines (if everything goes as I expect). My sailboat is quite modest, but I'll have plenty of supplies and I'll be in no hurry.
So, how long might this journey take? How much variation might there be?
Also, how much difference will the time of year make? Would there be a more optimal time of year to do this?
Thanks very much!
Princess, thanks for the answer.
I think wind speed and similar factors will indeed affect my trip, which is why I posted this in the "weather" section.
The weather at this particular time of year is probably the biggest factor that will influence the time it will take to cross.
