Sail boats

Cruisers are mostly solo travelers (two or more on board) but they do form "loose" groups up and down the coast and often meet up with friends at anchorages which are fairly close together.
On the Pacific passages boats may leave as a loosely formed group within a few days of each other. But because of different boat speeds and navigation decisions they quickly separate. during our five ocean passages we rarely saw another sailboat at sea but we're always in radio contact with many.
Yes, it is a great experience and we are glad we did it.
