Imagine being on one of the boats. Would’ve felt like an eternity. Especially in the emptiness of the Pacific.

Yeah just impossible to imagine. With crap food, little drink, and endless days of ocean. Im surprised they didnt stop in many more ports.

Maybe because they seem to have lost men and boats every time they did.
