I watched a YouTube video about four women who rowed across the Atlantic, it's really good. I couldn't imagine doing it solo. [this video]

on HN thread Crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Alone. By Stand-Up-Paddleboard

Depends on the crossing. Usually they will choose a route that is favorable. This is probably the same as the ocean crossings by row boat. [this video] Generally speaking there is a route called the "Milk Run" from Europe to the Caribbean that has tail winds and good currents in the right direction. Also much nicer weather.
