I never called myself out... but if you must know I have two reasons I won't do it... primarily it's 2,200 miles to the start and 2,000 miles from the finish... tybee at least it was an easy (still 19 hours) home.
But more importantly, my company is awesome on vacation time but won't let me take more than a day vacation may through june as it's our busy season. And even if it wasn't, I am already taking a week+ for catacup, week+ for America's and a couple days here and there for 3 day regattas.
