5 days, 427 nautical miles with just the two of us onboard. By the time we arrived in Kuala Belait on 9th January 2013, I was an absolute zombie.
My body was functioning but my mind was not. I was on autopilot mode. With a 2 hour on and 2 hour off shift, 24 hours for 5 days straight, it was really hard for either of us to get any proper rest. I don't know how the solo sailors do it but I definitely have a new found respect for them.
I know you might be wondering why 2 hours per shift? Why didn't we make the shifts longer so that we could both have more time to rest? Well, 2 hours...
