I've been pretty far out a few times.

Even Better who here has crossed an Ocean?

I've made a few long passages but never what
I'd consider a full ocean crossing--continent to
continent.

For 2 ASA points.

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

To see albatross and biolumiscence, and a clear view of
the stars, and to eat tasty, uncontaminated, fresh fish!


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?

I'd go the easy way because it is faster.

BTW Ol Thom, when I asked that question, you said that a friend of
yours had just died , and he asked that very same question...who was
that?

I remembered him recently. Sad story but he lived his life
well.
