Living on the sea for 1152 days? I don't know about that. Thats going way "overboard". Over two years of it was alone. Fuck that. Have a big enough boat and load it up with lovely ladies and I might give it a try.

Load your boat full of ladies and live out on the for 2 years? My money says you unload those women in the middle of the ocean 3 months in.

It would depend what you're looking for. I know one guy who lives on a 28' sailboat. He has his whole life crammed into it, and loves it. He was even able to get a mortgage on it because he lives in it. You learn to downsize everything and enjoy what you have. I don't think that would work for me.

I would like the big diesel engined yachts, with full sized rooms and a theatre too.

That's the idea, I think. While it isn't truly 'primitive', it is a daily struggle to survive. Very few experiences available in the civilized world can focus you like that can. Clearly he had a lot of time to think, but not like most of us do.
I doubt most of us would be composing hippie poetry to the sea, but imagine what it would be like to be away from all the stuff that preoccupies our minds in our daily lives. Talk about some great time to do some work on oneself. Oops, sorry, I know us guys aren't supposed to think about stuff like that.

No doubt! Nobody says you can't put into port and find a little company for a while if you need it. This guy just chose not to.

It wasn't that he chose not to but it was a requirement for the record he wanted to set. Stopping at different ports would be nice.

Indeed.. I must've skimmed over that part of the article... but even then, going for the record is a choice too I suppose.
Yes, stops in port would be mandatory for me... if only for perishable foodstuffs and a day or so around people here and there.

Yeah it would be nice to be all alone for X amount of time to just relax and clear your head. 2+ years would not me my amount. Maybe a couple of weeks but not much more. A trip like that could me amazing but for me doing it solo would make it too tough.

And a 70ft sailboat must be a bitch to handle solo.

Agreed on all points.
