Hello,
This is from a TV drama (She is a warrior, lives in an island and commands her own long-ship.) :
The only nights she's spent off these islands have been spent on the sea.
(Her father explained it to his son who was like Rip Van Winkle.)
It's really confusing to me, but is it possible that sentence means:
She has been absent from duty only at night and has spent lot of time at the sea.
Thank you.
