According to the folks on the singlehanded_sailing group for yahoo
... it is against the maritime laws because a watch must be maintained at
all times.

I have never slept underway singlehanded and have no ambition to do the kind
of sailing where it would be necessary. It really does seem to me to be an
unecessary risk. If I'm going to be out that long, I would really prefer
company, even if all they can do is steer a course and call me if they see a
light.


Now I'm off the hook ( get it ). I can stay in port ...

That sounds like a good idea if sailing seems like as much work and is the
source of as much frustration and anxiety as seeps between the lines of your
posts. Is your boat still for sale? It looked like a nice one.

and bother people.

That's never a good idea.
