Well both you and he beat me. About 27 days was my max run. I'm a big believer in having a nice kicker(and a good generator)....course you need some fat tanks. Many a windless day I have shaved in my reflection on a glass sea. Hot and flat as a pancake. I bet you Pacific guys don't get too many days like that...lol

What was that book about the guys who drifts in his liferaft from The Azores to the Windwards after his sailboat was holed at night....it was about 10 years ago.

I forget how long his epic was. I've got the book stashed in my storage at work....

That was Steve Callahan's excellent book "ADRIFT", which is about 20 years old. Another highly spiritual survival story.
