I hope you're not implying that your LTP is the right CC.

A lot of the SKA guys run that fast or
faster in the Stream.

With 33 foot deep-V hulls and light to moderate wind. Those days are
about once a week this time of year.

So? What's your point? That the majority of big time SKA'ers don't run
big deep vee's that can run 50 mph to the Stream, in it and back? Or
that they can't do it part of the year when the weather won't allow it?

As I stated, you can certainly go 50 mph in the right deep vee CC in the
Gulf Stream off Florida on the right days.

You want to tell me I'm wrong about that?

If you do, you're just bullsh*tting. Again.

On the right days you can go transatlantic on a dinghy.

Nice try at a recovery, W'hine. But you know and I know you know that
you are wrong once again.

Eddie Rickenbacker and his crew survived a crash in the South Pacific and
survived 24 days in a liferaft. Not much food or water. So very possible
to traverse the ocean in a dingy.

Dumfoch, indeed:

The massive Queen Mary 2 made history when it crossed the Atlantic
Ocean earlier this year. So did Hugo Vihlen. But the trips could not
have been more different.

Vihlen, now 72, completed his 105-day voyage in 1993 on a 5-foot-4-
inch boat named Father's Day. With the trip, he set a new record for
smallest boat to have crossed the Atlantic.

Funny...with all the hoopla attached to the Queen Mary2 when it went
intoproduction, you sure don't hear much about the Queen Victoria.
I hope it comes here in the next year or so....I could welcome it from the
deck of my Yukon.

You probably didn't know this, but Harry's father rowed across the
Atlantic and got a hero's welcome in NY Harbor.
