content
The term blue water is derived from the color of the sea on the open ocean and refers to blue water sailing , in which long ocean trips alternate with periods of stay in mostly distant travel countries.
Most of the authors of the main articles in the magazine are blue water sailors themselves who secure part of their livelihood with their journalistic work; Their trip reports and descriptions of the countries of residence therefore emphasize authenticity and topicality. In addition to the benefits of traveling and living like this, its problems and inconveniences do not fade into the background. The reports describe z. B. also the difficulties with the bureaucracy in the travel countries on arrival and longer stay, the daily struggle for survival of the people living there or the threat to nature and the environment from destructive overexploitation .
Blauwasser does not have lead stories and cover stories like comparable magazines ; instead, individual travel and area reports are equally ranked next to each other and make up around two thirds of the magazine's editorial section. In the form of logbooks or, depending on the travel progress, summarized in current interim reports, the subsequent editions of Blauwasser sometimes contain additional travel stages by the same authors or crews. Technical aspects of the ship and equipment as well as boat tests are not completely missing, but are mainly left in the Palstek magazine , which is published by the same publisher and is primarily aimed at cruising sailors and boat owners in local areas.
Fixed sections of the blue water are otherwise the editorial track chart , bookmark with recommended literature on prose, travel and non-fiction books and logbook with topics and news on the edge of sea and sailing.
