Default Re: Is The Gloyhole reachable?

There are many variables to consider. Safety equipment and training amongst the top. Almost any boat in the 25 ft. class is very capable of making it to the Glory, but, most of the boats Captains have no business taking a relatively small boat 50 off. Weather is another variable to be considered. With the recent weather patterns with small fronts pushing through every couple of days, only small weather windows have been open. The second day of a good 3 or 4 day Bermuda High is the kind of weather window you should be looking for with a boat in that size class. Trying to beat an incoming front headed east with a boat headed west for home is not a good plan, and soon enough many find themselves regretting taking advantage of a so called weather window.
Good luck and I wish you safe passage and good fishing, but, no fish is worth risking your life over.

Epirb, ditch bag, raft, float plan, and a safety briefed crew should be on the superbly maintained boat before a any trip offshore should be attempted.
