It sure is, but this has been a fun experiment because I want to sail solo in the future.
If I can't vibe code while sleep deprived, I sure as heck won't be able to react to an AIS alert and change course in the middle of the night!

Do you know that big’s backyard ultra exists? Even more ways to get your sleep deprived fun.
You do your best and let the sea take of the rest.
Anyhow, vibe coding is pretty low stakes compared to the joys and terrors you'll find out at sea.
Bon voyage!
For a landlubber like me, could you say something about what kind of joys might be possible expected?
As a landlubber, the terrors are quite easy to imagine.
In no particular order:
Marine mammals
Sunsets with no land in sight. Sunsets framing the land. Sunrises with no land in sight. Sunrises framing the land. Thunder and lightning rolling up one side of an island in the distance, putting on a show.
Dark skies and the stars.
The peace and tranquility of quiet places with just nature and you. Until the sod over the hill turns on their generator.
Fresh fish.
The feel of sea spray, wind in the ears, the connection to your boat, knowing if things are right just by the feel and sound.
And that's just from doing non-ocean-crossing sailing.
Yeah, but you mentioned the terrors
Have you done any offshore races?
