I would love to, as that is a very large missing component to my simulation training. It's a lot of work though - that boat is heavy now. Not a stupid idea.

This might give you a better idea as to what it will be like in actual ocean conditions.

Once everything is finished and installed, and your boat is fully packed, could you update a "Welcome to my crib"-tour? Nice map, Greg!

I seem to recall a couple that rowed across the Atlantic who in strong storms found that they had to protect their heads from the structure as they got bashed around. I think they might have built a make-shift helmet to get by (perhaps clothing wrapped around their heads). Do you see that as a potential issue for your journey? One more comment.

I also like the fact that you are doing a lot of testing and erring on the side of "sh*t" can happen", if I can use such an expression. I think what you’ve done and plan to do is quite inspirational.
