03 Nov - Atlantic off line blog
Gibraltar - Las Palmas
Today I have noticed that the lenght of the waves on the Atlantic are different compared to the waves on Mediterranen water. The latter being more choppy due to a shorter wave length. The reason for this phenomenon, according to my wise crew mates, is the fact that the Atlantic covers a greater area and includes a larger water mass than the Mediterranean. The waves of the Atlantic are built up over longer distances while creating long, rolling waves. The result: a more comfortable voyage in our type of vessel - which is actually a sailing yacht.
Look at the Atlantic water wall behind Ebba in it's up and down position. (Both photos were taken at almost the same angle.)
