Different strokes for different folks but I beg to disagree.

Moderation (and good weather) in all things of course, but for me I
never tire of the constantly changing view, the routine of watch
standing, the marine life, sunset at sea, countless stars against a
perfectly dark sky, sunrise, and eventually landfall.

We did a number of one and two day offshore passages last summer on
our north/south trip and I never tired of any of them. There were
days when we saw so many whales we lost count, and nights with
literally dozens of shooting stars.

To me it just doesn't get any better.
