Sanity of Early Passage Westbound?

Potential situation arising that makes it desirable to bring Toodle-oo! back to the US in the Spring. While I 'm looking at possibly shipping her back, I 'm wondering about the sanity of sailing her back in April.

What are your thoughts about sailing from Northern England (Whitehaven) to Newport, RI in April - and what route would you plan if were so silly to attempt such a crossing?

The boat is well found - Outbound 44.

Very interested to hear any and all thoughts... (especially since my bibles - Cornell 's book and my Atlantic pilot charts, are 3,000 miles away - aboard Toodle-oo!)

Thanks!

PS: Sanity prevails! We 're headed to the Baltic instead! Phew!
