Every now & then this subject matter comes up & it's always interesting the replies, SE over water day or night is simply not for everyone. We each have our reasons as to why we would or wouldn't, doubt anyone here is trying to stop anyone from doing so either way, these pages are simply accounts or beliefs of such stunts, no more or no less. It's a free world (well kind of!) any of us are welcome to head out over water in a SE day or night & accept the higher risks associated with such a flight, in other words knock yourselves out, at my age with plenty of experience behind me (like many in here) I'll be watching from the shore with dry feet:-):-)
Mankind went to the Moon 50 years ago (just about) which at the time was extremely risky, would anyone do it again today using the same equip/technology? Obviously no cause we have choices today (unlike back then) just like we do now crossing a body of water in a SE plane, we have a choice:-)
