3/5/2015 0 Comments Life on board Thinking of DaveI undertook this trip somewhat like I did my skydive, not thinking about it. I hoped it would turn out better than the sky dive as I didn't enjoy that at all and that lasted for all of 4 minutes. This could be up to 2 1/2 months!!!
Surprisingly I have so far after 14 days enjoyed the experience. I haven't been sea sick yet and not taken any tablets. So that's good!! Time hasn't dragged and on the 8 days at sea I haven't felt panicked and wanted to get off. It's also amazingly warm on board where I thought it would be cold. I'm in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in my bikini sailing along day and night. We are rostered on for 'watches' and these are 4 hours at a time. I forgot to mention after my second day onboard Steve had to leave because of a family crisis and we fortunately hadn't left the islands yet so we were 4 on board if my non sailing experience can somehow be counted. The days pass at sea talking cooking reading and sleeping. I must say everything is much more difficult to do swaying and rolling around on a moving floor but I'm coping well. I just haven't got to think that I'm in a box bobbing around on a deep ocean, at least a week from land, with unknown creatures lurking in the water below me, and a very good chance of drowning if I happen to fall over board or my box breaks. No I won't think about that at all!!!
