The Gulf of Honduras Bridge is NOT on the Charts!

We almost hit the bridge while sailing at night in the Gulf of Honduras. There was a moment of panic and we changed course to avoid it.

Turned out, Ivo is hallucinating after over 20 hours of sailing non-stop and hand-steering the boat with winds over 20 knots. No such bridge exists...

Here you can read the entire story of the bridge:

I'd love to get tips and advise how to deal with fatigue while at sea, or read other stories about tired-sailing-hallucinations.

Thank you all!
