Crossing an ocean isn't all about weather! As much as I love being out on the high seas, I also like to get from A to B as quickly as possible and reduce the risk exposure to any deteriorating weather. Studying the oceans currents and planning a route that optimizes upon the currents in conjunction with a weather forecast is a smart planning approach.
Here I have borrowed from the Earth Wind Map site (NASA) that features monthly sea current predictions and plotted an ideal current route from Thailand to Maldives. I'll then review the weather/wind forecast and plot a final route and review/update on a daily basis until arrival.
