Somewhere in the south Atlantic there are two people that are crazy. Well they are not technically crazy...yet. Reid Stowe and Soanya Ahmad are currently on a 70 foot boat and plan on being there for 1,000 days total. They are doing this in order to experiment with extended stays away from land and people that would be experienced on a mission to Mars. Stowe calls his project the Mars Ocean Odyssey, and thinks that his project will provide valuable lessons to future Mars travelers when astronauts would be confined to a small vessel for two to three years. If his current journey goes as planned he will break the current record for longest continuous sail which is currently 657 days and was set in 1988. So if you don't think they are crazy yet, they probably will be after 1,000 days.
