How to cross the pacific ocean by water
It made me
exhilarated 
"amazing, dolphins lit by phosphorescence, whale pods, booby birds, seeing the real colours of stars, tropical storms and endless sunshine"
How I did it: went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico at the end of March to meet a boat I found on the crewfinder website. Boats leave central America in droves around March/April as they want to catch the trade winds and be into safe harbour on the other side before hurricane season in the central and eastern pacific
Lessons & tips: a boat is a small space and there's no getting away from it - make sure you can tolerate people in your face and be prepared to calm situations and bite your tongue - what the captain says goes like it or not
