Even Better who here has crossed an Ocean?


raise hand

For 2 ASA points.

Why would anyone want to be out in the middle of an ocean?


'cuz it's cool?
Cleanest & healthiest air on the planet?
Study pelagic species?
Widest & least light-polluted sky?


I thought in the middle of the rain forest has the best air on earth.
Would you stury the Mesopelagic, bathypelagic, Abyssopelagic or the
Hatydel Zone?

I think the haydel would be the most fun and interesting, maybe hook a
cracken.


Bonus question

For those old timers here they might remember me asking this question
as the first question I ever posted here, and BTW I never got a
straight answer. I ask you this. If you were to sail around the world
would you go east or west? Why?


Umm, you can't go straight & still sail around the world.
You have to make some turns. Maybe that's why you didn't get
a straight answer?

Personally I have no interest in "sailing around the world"
as some kind of bragging-rights stunt. It is easiest &
fastest to go west-to-east because of prevailing winds &
currents.


Bragging stunt, or true measurement and accomplishment?
