... talk to themselves?

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.

Ash

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.

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?

He's as one with me on this.

Just so. And do you also exchange emails?

If we could move this fascinating debate on, how do single handers go on for sex....?

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

well you know what they say - " one hand for the boat ....."

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?
