a) meet with mixed (all singles) crews who never met before and sail 2 weeks

The "trick" was - constantly repeating that there is a train station in the next city. everyone is free to leave the "set" any time. be friendly, leave people their freedoms and be gentle... the rest will develop naturally .

well... it was a (romantic) pleasure ALL the time. with 2 persons and with 8 persons.

none of the negative aspects mentioned here ever occured.

... maybe I was lucky

That sounds like the wonderful era between the advent of feminism and this new wave social justice warrior feminism. Also know as the '80s and '90s. That was my, um, romantic hay day.

Am I wrong here or is this just the current version of the 60s with a VW bus?

maybe there is no "decade" ... maybe it works just allways, if people are positive and friendly and relaxed with themselves and with others.


maybe that is not limited to boats, or campers or VW busses - maybe it holds true in everyday life.
