Default Trans Atlantic flight, anybody?

This says that its northern edge is often marked by a line of clouds,

right across the Atlantic and, if it does, would it be strong enough
and persist long enough to allow a glider to make the crossing.

It would be a helluva flight!


Damn. No Steve Fossett around to do it.
