Amen on that one Hank!
32 single engine Atlantic crossings later I still notice boats, even on lakes! Add icebergs, aircraft issues and the ships start looking very friendly...
Have fun...you already are!

I was in and out of Kona yesterday. The weather to the south didn't look great but the way eastbound across looked ok. I think I am flying again Sunday. I'll watch the tracker and see if you are crossing. Meet you on air to air.

Hank,
I see you will pass France and Italy - not Germany. But this is close enough and I would like to meet you. I?m also happy to help with anything you might need.

I can attest that if you do make it to Israel that Ariel will take very good care of you. I had the pleasure of visiting with Ariel and his wife in 1999 (too many years ago!). But, there are many countries in this great world, and it isn't possible to stop in all of them.

Hank is airborne, about 60% of the way through the leg between Hawaii and California. Wishing him good luck.
