I still stand by what I said that I can't believe "anyone" would go through a pass in that situation. My wife would cut my, well, you get my point, if I even suggested something like that. I understand that the wife and a crew companion were sea sick and he was trying to get to shelter for them. I understand his concern for the well being of his wife and friend. That's a powerful pressure to be under. We can only hope that react differently if put in the same situation. The sea, most often, forgives our foolishness but when she doesn't, it's usually ugly.
