Rare Essiesmom Posted February 1, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Assuming you are doing this in the winter, you would want to be on starboard side, or aft. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi13 Posted February 1, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Eastbound across the Atlantic, you should have more sun on the Stbd side. Assuming Great Circle courses, the first days will have sunsets on the port side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruising cockroach Posted February 1, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 1, 2019 1 hour ago, Extra Kim said: Would it matter if it's in March or May ? Yes. sunrise, sunset, and overhead angle change.
