I just can't my head around flying out over the Atlantic for that
particular flight. The great circle is 453 while a dogleg over KSSI is
473. That 11 mins in my putt putt.

There would need to be an island full of the scantily clad or something
to motivate me.

I assume you are referring to V3. V3 is 5 miles max from the shoreline
between SSI and PBI. from 7 or 8k up, that is a 5:1 glide. I fly that
route in my Maule if winds are acceptable.

I think the original poster may have been thinking V437. I don't do that
one.
Actually I was thinking more direct from RDU to TIX which takes you well
east of V437.
