Many sailing tales are filled with drama and even life-threatening adventure. In my experience, however, a modern boat with an experienced crew can have an uneventful trip even in heavy weather. This may not make for great literature, but it indicates
good seamanship and speaks well of the
quality of most modern production boats and their components. I’m happy to leave the excitement and the story telling to others. My favorite log entry at the end of a passage is “Got there, nothing happened.” Bob Lally
