If you are ever invited to join a crossing crew: Try it, you might like it. It isn't necessarily one long party, but it's pretty much guaranteed to be interesting.
There is a truly mind-boggling amount of water between landfalls, which has the effect of putting this planet into some perspective.
It was a rich experience, and we had the greatest time.
Thanks to the skipper, and fellow crew.
