dndog1 Posted February 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Leaving in about 6 weeks. Trying to pack as light as possible. Anyone have advice on the need for a light rain-wear outfit. Seems like it would be a good idea for the TA trip? Help please. Thanks, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted February 17, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Since you'll be doing the Southern Atlantic route I doubt you'll need rain wear. But don't forget the sunscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6rugrats Posted February 18, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 18, 2019 If you are concerned, could you just bright a foldable rain jacket or poncho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pudgesmom Posted February 19, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 19, 2019 We've done this four times, both from Barbados and St. Maarten. We've only had one rainy day at sea, but the weather does cool off as you approach Lisbon. If you're on the Windsurf, make sure to be on deck for passing under the city bridge. Its worth it at any time of day. They have to wait for low tide, and you'll swear the ship won't make it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strenz Posted February 20, 2019 #6 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Agree, going under the bridge in Lisbon is so important, an optical illusion like you have never experienced. We did it at 5:30 am everyone was on deck in their pajamas and WS bathrobe. Very funny. A must not miss at any time. Low tide and they stop the trains using the bridge. Wonderful memories we did it twice. Happy Sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
