Sailing around the world: What it's like when you're alone in a tiny boat for weeks.

In What It’s Like, people tell us, well, what it’s like to have experiences many of us have not even imagined. Honestly, I wasn’t even sure if I was going to make it, as I had a lot less sailing experience than other people at the time. But it goes without saying that there are a lot of ways to get killed when you’re alone on a tiny sailboat in the middle of the ocean. Everyone seems excited about a big sailing trip at the beginning when it’s a speculative idea, but they don’t always come through. I tend to be a bit more social once I get into port, when I’m around other human beings for the first time in weeks.
