No. I was really thinking of blue water to be crossing the Atlantic or Pacific for weeks at a time. Not just out of sight of land. I don’t know where I would draw the line between just a quick crossing and blue water. Also I was thinking of large waves not a placid voyage. At least in what made me feel uncomfortable.
Wifey B: To answer your updated question:
Everyone does it for different reasons. With our desire it's a bit like why does the chicken cross the road? Why do the B's cross the Atlantic?
To get to the other side, but to do so while seeing all that lies between. It's to see more of the world and not miss what one crosses to see it. Now we're not talking sail and not talking weeks. Our longest runs to date have been about 1000 nm and we've done those in just over two days, about 54 hours. Our longest run crossing the Atlantic would be just under 2000 nm, Bermuda to the Azores. That would take us around 7 days in the planned type boat. Others cite boredom but don't see it in that length of time while I would in 28 days and no land.
Some time in my life I want to cross the Pacific as well but that's likely not the same. More likely to Hawaii and other islands but to actually get to Japan, following a path from Alaska. So much depends on range.
Would love to find a path to Australia and New Zealand, but a lot of challenges to that so we've largely concluded we're more likely to ship a boat there to check those areas out.
We want to boat the world, to see the world by water.
Admittedly we'd do it on larger boats than most and with crew. As an aside you can't imagine our pain at shipping the boat we're on from Italy to Florida in a couple of weeks rather than running it home, but it's not a passage making boat. Not it's DNA.
But....
Only most of it. For instance no boating near Venezuela and no transiting the Suez Canal and the Red Sea today. Challenges will arise elsewhere due to the world politic and threats.
The part we can't explain and don't try to as no one who doesn't feel this way can understand is why see the world by water. Why not fly and drive? Water is so much more expensive and so much slower. However, water is our way and it must be. Right now we're in Croatia, but Croatia to us isn't Zagreb. That's the population center but to us the country is the incredible coast, but then that's the way we perceive the US, by it's coasts and rivers. Can't imagine not living on the coast and not boating.
