Our home port is Los Angeles, then we head to the Hawaiian islands for four days. The Hawaiian islands are 3 hours different from LA, at this time of year, since they don’t change their clocks for daylight savings time. There’s a one-hour difference off the coast of California, as we enter Alaska Daylight Time. There are no time zones between Alaska Daylight and Hawaiian Standard. So we make them up.
In the four-day voyage between California and Hawaii, we change the clocks one hour every other day. Going to Hawaii, we get one more hour of sleep every other day.
Coming back, we lose one.
It’s a gauntlet of long days whose nights actually do get shorter. It’s not just our imagination.
