Er, I don't think I'd recommend this route - it's almost twice a long. Better
to leave from Morehead City or Norfolk - 5 days to B'muda. If you get into
trouble you are max 3 days away from land and always in helo range. It's also
helpful to get routing info from someone like Jenifer Clark to avoid being on
the wrong side of an eddy when crossing the stream.
