    Yet every other episode is entitled "we're sinking"?

    I like Gus, funny cheerful hard-working guy with a sense of adventure. Hope he keeps his spirit.

    I like Gus also. He seems genuine. I maintain my 81 Burger RPH for the most part myself. So I know it is possible. Hope to run across him next season in the Bahamas. If he can do it I can do it. Although I doubt I could attract a Young Bikini girl nor would I want to. It would just mess up the trip.

    I seem to recall from an early video that there was mention of a donation component to this scenario.

    Yes, it is impressive that he single soloed that trip to Boston . However he was also wise to plan the weather window to be optimal and for the most part everything worked that needed to work. An Auto Pilot is key to that mission as well as current electronics. The advent of GPS, MFD's, Digital Radars and AIS. Along with a huge dose of youth and enthusiasm make those kind of trips possible and safer. I really enjoy watching his Channel.

    Impressive, it's really dangerous and completely stupid.
