A response to the fact that you never hear about the one's that don't 
succeed.

     The Baron DeRosnay, who became quite famous in boardsailing circles,
     had successfully sailed across several STRAITS. He attempted to sail
     a sailboard from Taiwan to the Chinese mainland. He disappeared at
     sea, and has never been heard from since or found. The Baron was a
     good sailor, had set world speed records, endurance records, etc. The
     infamous Formosa Strait has been known to claim many victims.

     So, you see, there are some people who don't succeed. In these cases
     failures usually result in the ultimate price being paid.

     As for those who think such things are insane, and some kind of ego
     trip for the adventurers, who knows maybe your right. But if Columbus
     felt that way, where would we all be now?
