That would be interesting Joe.
Would it not be a tad foolish to commence any ocean voyage without
weather reports, charts and tables ,all prepared by others?

Certainly..... and having those updated on a 15 minute basis and downloaded
to an onboard computer that runs everything from the routing, steering and
communications is also good.... but I believe if you leave to do it
Solo... you should start and finish on your own... without a "Remote Crew"
doing the routing , navigation and communications from several land based
stations enroute. I bet they knew whenever she took a dump and what colour
toilet paper she used.
