The spreading rate of the mid-Atlantic ridge in north Atlantic Ocean is ~ 25 mm/yr. And Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. (This is from Wikipedia)

Take the (current year - 1492)*25mm and you have your answer.

For 2014, it would be (2014 - 1492) * 25 = 13050 mm = 1305 cm = 13.05 m
