Honest. I guess it goes into the classic-not enough time-category. But nobody got hurt. Sounds like the crew dynamics on these typical crossings, is often a gamble. Sometimes it may not be the best. I think I would want to do it with friends and family that I'd 'go to the moon with', only.

And hearing from many that have made this crossing, I'd want to allow the entire season for last preparations, waiting for weather, false starts, fixing stuff, etc.
