Is that a small boat for a trip on those waters?

Maybe a little smaller than average but not dangerously so in my
opinion. More important is how it has been maintained, equipped and
sailed. There was no reference to a SSB radio or EPIRB for example,
which I consider important for offshore passage making, although many
people are successfully using satellite phones for communication.
