Favorite Yachting Experience

All of it. I have sailed in 6 of the 7 Seas and have enough open ocean sailing miles to circumnavigate the globe twice around. My favorite sailing location was in Zadar, Croatia. My favorite moment - spraying my crew with champagne at the finish of the Sydney to Hobart race.
