Couldn't agree more. Here's a single handed trip.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Boys, Boys, There are very few insurance co. that will write coverage on a single hand trans- Atlantic or any thing trans single hand. When I do a delivery the insurance co. says min. 3 crew including myself.

Ok I'll give you that. Just drives me crazy to see something like that happen which could probably have been avoided quite easily. Especially when I'm having a helluva time trying to scrape up enough money to buy a day sailor big enough for me and my wife.

True, and if you did get insurance, it would cost an arm, a leg, and a left nut.
