Mercedes and I have spent considerable time cruising together. Both being intensive,a bit restless and with a touch of nomadsouls we have grown into each other. While at sea Mercedes is very calm,seldom stressed and also in dangerous situations seldom scared, she also has an altruistic side often letting me sleep far to much during watches.

Symbiosis I guess is what you are looking for crewing a boat together and finding it I think is easier for a loving couple.
