I don’t think single hand day hops are a problem because you can keep watch, at least assuming you aren’t napping on the job. Hitting the head, or a little back and forth to get a meal together isn’t a big deal. For some people, this can extend to 18, and maybe even 24 hrs. This is what Kevin is doing.

Where I 100% agree with you is when you are talking about multi-day passages.
I agree as well regarding multi day passages.

The human body needs sleep.

Thats what folks do not realize about a long cruise. They see a start and a finish point.

Someone doing it sees it as a series of day trips
