    What is a good source for historical, month by month, weather and sea state information for the North Atlantic?

    Any recommendations on Weather Routing service providers?

    For weather routing I use Commanders' Weather because they are pay as you go and very accurate. I also have and use Ocens weather software and service.

    Thanks Ozzie,
    Mr Hilgenburg is indeed legendary. Back twenty five years ago when I was making this trip regularily (only five times total) he was the go-to-guy. Nice to hear that he has not retired from providing this service. My "Pilot" is on the way, time to arrange a "router" and start checking the safety gear.
