C'mon, Jim. If he had "better judgement" he wouldn't be flying a
single-engine plane across the North Atlantic, now would he...?

Speaking of judgement, is there any accident data for SEL airplanes
crossing the Atlantic? Since such accidents will involve foreign
countries or international waters, I am not sure if FAA records is the
place to go looking for it. What are the chances of rescue if someone
successfully lands on an iceberg, or ditches in the ocean?
