Can't speak from experience, but in your shoes I would (1) take the twin,
and (2) equip the airplane the same way my Skylane-owning friend equips his
when flying the Greenland route to Europe: Life raft, exposure suit, all
manner of signaling devices and handhelds.

Anyone flown X-C down the east coast way out over the Atlantic?

I'm new to the east coast and I'm interested in flying from NC to Florida.
The direct route would take me a good ways out over the Atlantic. I'm not
concerned about flying over way, just curious as to what issues I'm about
to encounter with ATC.

I'd like to file either VFR or IFR depending on the weather and proceed as
direct as I can for fuel. Is ATC going to give me any hassle?

Thanks.
