On the SHTP I slept pretty well in one or two hour bites each night, even when the conditions were pretty sporty. One night the wind was howling and seas were so big it was hard to fall asleep. When I did drift off, the sound and motion stayed with me in my sleep. I dreamed I was part of a lecture/demonstration on how to sleep at sea in rough conditions. There was a big lecture hall and I was either in a demonstration tank on stage simulating the conditions at sea, or there was a camera on board, and the image of what I was doing was being projected on screen. Whichever it was, I could hear the professor’s lecture the whole time. And the professor was none other than Dr. Skip Alan. Needless to say his calm, thoughtful description of the situation was quite restful.
