You have rather transparently only promoted his efforts (admirable as they are) as part of your campaign against TCT (reprehensible although she is).
Best of luck to him, but there are numerous other people out there, all the time, doing long trips. He's obviously talented, but also very well resourced from other people's efforts than his own.
I hope that he has a fantastic trip, and goes onto bigger and better things. I can't however get all that excited about it.

I really have to agree with this. I carry no torch for Ms Curtis-Taylor; but this trip, whilst long and potentially dangerous given that it involves flying a SEP for long distances over water, really isn't that difficult given the nature of the aircraft he is flying.
The flight that Ms Curtis-Taylor CLAIMS to have made (as opposed to what she appears ACTUALLY to have done) is, IMHO, a much more difficult aviation challenge.
