Thanks! I've been describing it as "an adventure" - I'd be lying if I said it was 100% "fun" all the time. Sometimes it was a bit of a slog.

And I learned to loathe the disjointed "Swedish watch" system, which seemed to have us falling further and further behind in sleep! Much prefer 4 hours on, 8 off when sailing around the clock.
