SEP over water - do you? And if so how far will you go?
Reykjavik to Narsarsuaq 770 miles/670 nm approx (en route Thruxton to Dallas).
4.9 hrs including about 0.5 exploring the ice-cap before landing.

A truly wonderful experience - and a guaranteed way to cure 'auto-rough'.

Romeo Tango sums it up well:
For me the marginal chance of death involved flying SEP across the Atlantic is far outweighed by the amazing sight of Greenland coming over the horizon on a clear day.
And, in pre GPS days, first sight of the airport confirming that you've flown up the correct fjord.

As does old,not bold:
Nothing is quite as dangerous as it appears to the terminally cautious.
