Being alone for months at a time is a condition that I have some experience with. Days turn into weeks and then months, all alone in an empty world, no wonder people like to ask me how I deal with it.

My hope is that I can shed some light on the mind of the solo sailor. Support the Podcast on Patreon; https://www.patreon.com/sailingintooblivionpodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
