What an adventure! Every thing went well, but for a few glitches...generally light winds. Sometimes we thought we would go crazy but we did not. We encountered only 2 cargo ships and 1 sail boat, so yes we felt very lonely. At some point we were over 1000 miles away from any patch of land, God this ocean is big!
