Sailing west to Asia can present several disadvantages, including longer travel times due to prevailing winds and ocean currents that may not favor such routes. Navigational challenges arise from the vast expanse of the open ocean, which can increase the risk of getting lost or encountering severe weather. Additionally, the journey may require passing through politically sensitive waters or regions with piracy concerns, complicating logistics and safety. Lastly, the cost of resources and provisions for extended voyages can be significantly higher compared to more direct routes.
