Calmer but not that calm

My massive transat research of many crews with whom I sailed show that most people want their TE (Transatlantic Experience) to last 10 days. Up until this point if I offered magic button to -ping! suddenly be finished ..... most people would be oh no I am enjoying being on the water and all that ... but from 10days onwards yerknow they felt they'd done enough to earn a transat badge and they WOULD press the magic button.
All of which means that this next few days is the SUAD zone - Shut Up And Drive. Then later, towards the end of the week it will be ooh only a couple of days nearly there etc. which is another perhaps nicer phase ... Feels like 170 mile days 80hours for 600nm I think
One slightly weird thing is that I hear noises that sometimes sound like human voices - just a word here and t here once or twice a day perhaps - and othr solo types have mentioned this. Oh well whatever only going as normally-mad as others.
