More importantly. If they do. Do they get a reply!

Of course not - they're talking to the ship.

Yes - but not always in agreement.

Yes.

Do couples talk to each other?

Well, I've heard it said that it's the only way they can get a sensible conversation.

But I doubt if that's true.

There are too many Donalds on this thread

I do have frequent conversations with myself after a few hours. They usually take the form "Fancy a cup of tea Dave?""Good idea." or "Time for a beer skipper?""Yep. Sun's over the yardarm."

I also talk to Silkie but this is a more emotionally complex interchange.

Hmm, this is very interesting. Have you ever talked to MacHurley22 about this behaviour?

Pretty much the same as everyone else, I'd imagine.

Silkie - I do not profess to be an expert in these matters but in terms of sex, it has been my experience and also that of a number of friends I've spoken to, that its better if there are two of you.
So - the question still stands...how do single-handed sailors go on for sex?
Perhaps you could put a little more thought into your response?
(Its the beginning of term soon - so I'm just practising my sarcasm)
