The random wandering nature of these threads and the good anecdotes make me realize that virtually all of you would really enjoy this book, if you have not already done so:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1891369830/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1456412372&sr=1-1&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=robb+white+boats <http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1891369830/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1456412372&sr=1-1&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=robb+white+boats> He was a polymath and writing consistently entertaining essays for a little mag called messing about in boats, right up until some radiologist decided to Stent his basil artery or some similarly sketchy procedure, after which he was neither writing, nor with us any longer. A sad day for a lot of people. But you can get this book and do some catching up. 'Course, I flew several 26-hour airborne alert missions, but I always had some help and I could nap a bit occasionally. Lotsa 12 to 14-hour ones from Guam to Vietnam & back and one from Guam to Wichita, KS. Many 10 to 12 hours.
