Tips for single-handed sailing...
I don't think they mean having one hand tied behind your back.

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. Joe |

Joe You are, of course, in good company there, Joe. Joshua Slocum himself had an episode where the navigator of the Pinta showed up and sailed Spray for him while he was incapacitated one night. Navy Seal training intentionally puts candidates in that condition so they will know what's happening and how to deal with it in the bush. And even I (no seal, that's for sure) have experienced hallucinations after about 4 days with no sleep. (Viet Nam) Mine were ghostly outlines of a large cat and bird just wandering around ignoring me. Interesting what the mind can do... -- Richard Lamb email me: web site: http://www.home.earthlink.net/~cavelamb |

Navy Seal training intentionally puts candidates in that condition so they will know what's happening and how to deal with it in the bush. That's more of a fatigue issue, I think only sailboats in near perfect conditions can put you in a totally sensory deprived situation. This is far different than fatique... it's total isolation from any sensory imput. What the guide describes as "Lucid Dreams" you are fully awake but the brain tries to make sense of near zero external imput. Like flying in dense fog without any sounds. We both had enough time off watch. We both have extensive time on the helm, but on boats that provide lots of sensory imput..ie engine noise, radars images, gauges, radios, ect..ect. And even I (no seal, that's for sure) have experienced hallucinations after about 4 days with no sleep. (Viet Nam) *Mine were ghostly outlines of a large cat and bird just wandering around ignoring me. Lack of sleep can cause hallucinations. My most vivid was after 30+ hours non-stop driving when the white lines on the highway started stacking up on top of each other, the gravel on the side of the road snapped me out of it before I went to far off course. Interesting what the mind can do... Indeed Joe -- Richard Lamb email me: web site: *http://www.home.earthlink.net/~cavelamb- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |

First, buy petrol on Tuesdays. It's cheaper then than any other day of the week. Shop for your child's clothes at St Vincent de Paul's and other OP Shops. I was picking up Pumpkin Patch and Osh Kosh for $1 a piece, sometimes cheaper.
