WILMINGTON â The comparisons between the exploration of oceans and space are endless. But Reid Stowe still says he is met with disbelief about how long-term sea voyages can be useful and necessary when it comes to planning missions to Mars, for example.
Stowe, long-time captain of the 70-foot Schooner Anne, has a history of adventuring at sea and fascination about humans traveling to other planets.
He holds a record for the longest sea voyage at 1,152 days, or more than three years with no stops or re-supplies, which he began as a way to better understand how people could prepare for and survive such long-term isolation and self-reliance.
