Serenity (宁静）is difficult to find in today’s fast-paced world. A moment of complete calm seems to be a rare
and wonderful find. For me, those precious moments occur on a boat. As legendary sailor Vito Dumas once said:
“It’s out there at sea that you are really yourself.” On deck, enjoying awe-inspiring views, the cares of everyday life
blown away on the sea breeze, you can appreciate his point.
Flying is a misery. From airport chaos to the confined space of an aircraft, nothing about commercial aviation
appeals to my sense of adventure—or comfort. Favouring boat travel isn't just about managing flight fear, though.
Whether I’m on a short ferry crossing or a cruise, the sea provides a true sense of travel, from the impressive
physical shift of a ship leaving port to its navigation of the open water. “We are tied to the ocean,”John F. Kennedy
said.As my ship steers towards an exciting new destination, I feel that affinity.
And I’m not alone.“The journey is part of the holiday,”says travel writer Helen Ochyra. I’ll stand out on deck,
whatever the weather, and watch the ropes being untied, the boat slipping away from the dock and the landscape
drifting farther and farther away.”
Tom Bourlet，founder of the Spaghetti Traveller blog, agrees: “On a plane，it’s difficult to make out much more
than grassland; on the ferry, there is something exciting about seeing land slowly getting closer.”
For Cathy Winston, travel editor, ifs about the sense of adventure .“Even on a fairly simple journey from A to
B, she says, “wide wide, open sea makes it feel like you could be off to discover new lands. There’s a certain
romance you don’t get on a plane or on a motorway.” Winston also values the family-friendly aspects of sea travel.
“There's something so relaxing about being on the water, especially with kids,” she says.
Whether it’s for kid-happy convenience or sheer romance, boats will always be the preferred mode of transport
for many travellers. A boat gets me where I want to go, avoiding the rush—and terror— of air travel. And out on the
waves, as reality melts away, I always rediscover my own passion for the sea.
According to Tom Bourlet, sea travel is better than air travel in that it
and wonderful find. For me, those precious moments occur on a boat. As legendary sailor Vito Dumas once said:
