Mike endures a long time at sea by adhering to a daily routine. He is on navigational bridge watch from 12-4 am, sleeps a bit, is on watch again from 12-4pm, exercises a bit and then does it all again, seven days a week. Mike uses a fitness regime, proper diet and hydration, sleep, reading, catching up on movies and music to maintain a healthy perspective and mindful philosophy.
