Ellen's vessel was geared to manage this at all times. She violated no
rule. If you take this rule literally, you can't even go below for an
instant. In addition to this, her vessel was carefully tracked during
the voyage and it's course made precise beyond Neal's wildest dreams.

Which of course throws a shadow of doubt as to the justification of
referring to her accomplishment as a "Solo" venture....
