The Night I Fell Asleep and Hit the Rocks — Twice

This true story, and dozens more like it, are in my book Be The Captain 👉 https://www.bethecaptain.com This is a true sailing story about what happens when a solo sailor falls asleep offshore. I’ve been through two different boat crashes, both from fatigue, and each taught me hard lessons about seamanship, preparation, and the realities of sailing offshore. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you fall asleep while sailing, or how to prevent it, this is a story you need to hear. 🗺 About Be The Captain It’s not a sailing book — it’s a captain’s manual for real life at sea. Every chapter is drawn from thousands of miles offshore, from heavy weather to leadership, anchoring, maintenance, and self-reliance. If you connected with this story, you’ll find the whole system in Be The Captain. 📘 Get your copy here → bethecaptain.com
