What makes a day feel truly special while cruising

Lauren Landers Sailing reflects that some days at sea feel really special, and that it is not always the wildlife or the weather that creates that feeling. Almost always, she says, it is simply the people you are with. One afternoon settled in with no wind, a beautiful beach, and good friends nearby. She pumped up the sun chill, took it to shore, and the crews from four neighboring boats joined together to spend the afternoon chatting and discussing their plans for the next few weeks. As the sun set, it put on a show she hadn't seen in quite a while, reminding her 'how special this life is and how memorable each and every moment is, especially when shared with good friends.'
