I think it's important to add something here for those pilots who haven't done much or any XC. The only reason I attempted the crossing was 1) Everyone else was doing it and 2) I wanted to fly home. Both *enormously* moronic reasons for doing anything, not to mention flying in high winds, alone, and unguided. I made dumb decisions and got lucky. If you want to go XC because you enjoy it, great, but don't feel like the XC pilots won't respect you if you don't. Boating around over Chief is a hell of alot more fun than watching your life flash before your eyes over White Ledge anyway. We dont have to prove anything to anybody to be a good pilot.

Anyway, just something to think about that might save your life some day.
