"At times, the closest humans to you will be those on the International Space Station"While I knew that crewing in the Clipper Race would take me to some isolated places, the realisation that at times the nearest human being outside the Race will be in space adds a whole new meaning to the word 'remote'.
Coping with that isolation will be tough, but luckily I'll have 22 other brave (and/or crazy) souls to keep me company during the 5 week crossing. Might have to pack a star chart just in case we get a bit of down-time on deck and see if we can pick out which dot has the nearest humans on it and give them a wave.
