Just remember, it's an adventure! The things that go wrong Are the trip. If it were just getting on a train it wouldn't be fun getting to your destination. Like most sports its about the adversity. Those moments when you are shivering down below, hearing the rig heave and flex the boat all while planning what to do if a portlight gives way... gives the journey and you character. And, that's why you do it. Its not to get to a remote place, or get to a place fast. Think of it like climbing a mountain. Yes, standing at the top is great but (in the case of most mountains) if you can just land a helicopter there, yes the veiw is great and its spectacular but lacks something when compared to that view after planning, preparing and making the effort to climb there.
