I heard that!! But now, I’m starting to think that a more local and practical destination would be easier, and less troublesome. (I’m the sibling) that started this mess, but remembered that my brother has a timeshare in Cabo San Lucas Mexico. All I really want and need, is to spend quality time with my family. It was my boneheaded Hawaiian idea anyways.I've done it in large metal ships with weaponry.You are right that I have never done it in a small boat. Perhaps you should warn Alex. He could still fly commercial airline.
