IXD2s brought me some long ones. I believe my personal record was 190 days (spent in large part in the Indian Ocean).

If you use a IXD2 to circumnavigate the globe (while you pass through some nice target areas, it's not a very efficient patrol) I did it in around 180 or so days. Boy was everyone glad to get off that boat the moment we docked and shower, and get some real food and beer.
