There is a narrow window, from December to March, when the winds allow sailing towards the east along the Equator. Later in the year the passage from PNG to Micronesia becomes a little easier, and then in July-August it is possible to sail from Majuro to Midway Island and then the NW coast of the USA with out too much trouble. But no one tempts the weather Gods by saying such things out loud.
