Transatlantic in a 63' SS Sea Ray.. Laugh Out Loud or Doable?

I can't add anything constructive but I will wish you well.

It's great to see people willing to push boundaries, if it weren't for people like that we'd still be living in caves, rubbing sticks together to create fire and wondering what nasty beasts live in the next valley.

Good luck with whatever you decide.
 
After your insurer stops laughing, do tell what they said & how much the excess will be!! I for one would be happy to pay my own passage to start with you. There's a thought .... wonder who else would pay to come with you!
Regards

Mmm... You seem to imply that there's some analogy between the OP and the likes of James Cook, Christopher Columbus, Roald Amundsen, etc.
Which is quite a stretch, to say the least.
Crossing the Atlantic with a non appropriate boat, these days (when, as already pointed out, others already did it with even less appropriate vessels - and also rowing, for that matter), with all due respect, that's something I would call pushing luck, rather than boundaries.
That said, as a boater, of course I also wish the best of luck to anyone who is even just thinking of doing it. :)

Pushing one's own boundaries, expanding your knowledge and going that few steps further than Joe Average, that's what I meant.
Certainly not comparing to the likes of Cook, Columbus or even Richard Branson ;)
 
Fairenuff.
IMHO, you could have argued that we'd still be "living in caves" if it weren't for people willing to EXPLORE (as those of my previous examples) rather than for people willing to push THEIR OWN boundaries for the sake of it (as the OP - again with all due respect), but that's not really relevant for the debate.

Back to the point, I'm beginning to wonder, since roguewave has yet to post any further comment, if s/he's laughing at all of us or if s/he's beginning to fit the bladder tanks in the SeaRay.

Pleeeeease, roguewave, put us out of our misery! :D :p

He could be out of signal, mid Atlantic; let's give him a few days to get some better coverage.
IMHO this is a classic canoe man sting, we are just one of his marks :)

Expect a new thread from MrsRougewave in a couple of days; title:
Has anyone heard from my husband?
:)
