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....

How true Capt. Mooron,

Who needs a person aboard anyway. A remote controlled vessel could do
the same with another 200 grand. Just put a monkey in the cockpit.

The rules of the record needs to be changed. Something needs to be
added like NO-outside assistance at all. Or they need to make a new
catagory
