OK this is off topic but we are looking for info on the trade winds , best time to travel, go north hem. or south hem. , east to west or west to east. Which is best? Will be sailing lord nelson 41 and looking to take next three years off. Any suggestions?

The book 'World Cruising Routes' by Jimmy Cornell would be useful to you. I just bought it myself, because I have to plan a passage from South Africa to Phuket. It has general information about trade wind and currents, but also a large library of specific routes, with way points and other useful information.

or the British Admiralty version "Ocean Passages for the World" NP 136. Primarily for large ships but a lot of the info is very valid!
