transatlantic




The Atlantic Ocean has its own character, from the beginning when it brushes against the English Channel, to the mysterious fog banks on the way from the United Kingdom and then into the deceptively deep sections midway across.


And all of the time I was aware we were travelling at 25 knots, even when we on the higher decks and the sea seemed to moe slowly below. It was as fast as the high speed catamaran we had used in Rhodes about a month ago, although I suspect were were somewhat less manoeuvrable. 

This average depth reached 3,600 metres or 11,000 feet as we crossed the Mid Atlantic Ridge between continents.
