Default Atlantic Crossing on small power boat ?

Yes. A bigger boat that doesn't say Bayliner on the side.


Hooo-Boy.... you are going to get on Skipper's bad side with comments
like that....


See, in 1997 or so, Skipper boasted that he spent hours in "fierce
seas" in 25'-30' waves in the Sea of Cortez in his highly modified
2252 Bayliner. He was with two bodies, one of which went into shock!
They spent the evening at sea and all they got for their trouble was a
realization of the, "importance of getting current weather information
while at sea, even IF that report is in Spanish"


A troll is a troll, Gene, even if that troll calls your wife with an
unwelcome phone call at your home. That said, you might want to check
your source for your above comments. Believe you might just find those
seas were experience in a *sailboat*...and 40 years ago. Does that
change the point you're trying to make? Catch a clue here, Gene,
electronic communications in remote sections of the Cortez were a bit
primitive in those days. You might even find posts were I described the
port of San Carlos before building one was ever built there.

So, what is your point, Gene?
