My personal best is 284 days in a 12-month period
that sounds like me my friend. The first year of my first marriage was 320 days at sea. One of the contributing factors to it breaking up, IMHO.

Mine too. The first one anyway. On the subject of lessons learned, I told my then girlfriend back in '90 that if she was still around after my sea tour was done that I'd marry her. She was, and I did. 15 years later and she still won't go away! :)
