Reading blogs from cruisers worldwide one can sometimes get the impression that it´s just dramas,problems,service and repairs. Allthough this can sometimes dominate the picture,reality is also long times of comfort and pleasure.
The week in the middle of our Atlantic crossing was a pure pleasure. Wind and waves were smooth with 5-10degr rolling and Dora Mac came up with no problems what so ever.
That´s when days pass reading,fishing,music and sometimes stopping for a swim in a deep blue ocean. Both Mercedes and me recognised the feeling from other ocean passages. The feeling of constantly being under way and with no wish to ever make landfall.
Moreover sunsets and sunrises are often marvellous and stargazing without lightpollution is becoming a luxury.
