I am a former professional Captain. I received my 50-ton Master license from the U.S. Coast Guard in 1997. It was upgraded to 100-ton in 2007. My license was for near-shore operation. I would have been shitting my pants to sail a small boat solo across the Atlantic because although I never operated off-shore, I know well what is involved. Encountering waves 20' high from crest to trough is not unusual. It's a big, fucking deal.
