I think a good minimum of time to experience this pattern is at least a month for maximum effect and better if alone. But it can be felt in as little as 5 days. The inverse of this is what happens on land. Instead of bad weather there are people who either add or take away from your spirit. While the aim of passage making is the sublime satisfaction where external forces have minimal impact, on land this equates to disconnection from people and not ideal. You can imagine the land journey and sea journeys have different outcomes and purposes. I have to get better at the land journey.
