Description
The Viking Route is an in-depth and specialized passage guide for sailors planning to sail across the North Atlantic via the historic Viking Route. Covering the areas between Europe and North America, including the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, Newfoundland and Labrador, the book provides detailed information on route selection, weather conditions and safe navigation in challenging waters.
Written and illustrated by experienced ocean sailors with in-depth knowledge of these areas, the guide includes descriptions of recommended ports, ports of refuge and anchorages along the route. It also covers navigation in cold climates, weather forecasting, route planning and special equipment needed for sailing in higher latitudes.
The Viking Route has been developed as a practical planning tool and reference book for long-distance and expedition sailors. Often used in combination with nautical charts and meteorological sources, the book provides a solid decision-making basis for one of the world’s most challenging but also most spectacular ocean voyages.
