Very interesting Richard.

Both my brother and I had some issues with sensory deprivation
causing Hallucinations. Seeing things on the bow, hearing radios and
voices from the drains in the cockpit and the spinning shaft. The
voices sounded like ****ed off Gremlins. It happened on those nights
when it was smooth silent sailing 4-5 knots with no stars, moon or
horizon, you were totally void of any sensory imputs cept that red
compass rose floating in front of you. My favorate that we both saw
was the wizard on the bow smacking the pulpit rail with his wand. The
whole experience reminded me of that William Hurt movie Altered
states.
