I would need more details about his sailing CV, the plan, and the boat, but all kinds of fools cross oceans successfully in unsafe boats and bad things happen to the best prepared. On the TBI and judgment issue, I spent several years working with frontotemporal dementia patients and my and my collaborator’s attitude on activities was, as long as it doesn’t endanger anyone else’s life or property and the family understand the risks, go for it. With sailing there is always the issue of the expense and risk to SAR assets in case of disaster, but my strong feeling is that SAR is a normal activity and that the people who do it live and train and love to do their thing and would be very sad Indeed if mariners stopped taking risks.
Now, 33 years later, he does have some mild cognitive impairment but does ok.

Hey datlas is there anything special about breathing through your nose? Intuitively, it seems better, but I watched this for a while (not two hours, wut) and they never got around to explaining why it's so much better.

I leave for a bit and the quality goes way down. Here is a gorgeous song for you to enjoy @Velo Vol I think there is a French horn in there.

- The quality did not go down.
- That's not a French horn. Flugelhorn or muted trumpet.

I'm getting the weird feeling that there are health claims made on YouTube that may not be 100% legit.

Un-possible! They wouldn't let you say it on the Internet if it weren't true, right?

Some cycling coach guy said that during efforts, the ideal is to inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth, but to do both through the mouth for the most intense efforts.

It seems that my nose gets stuffed up while cycling quite a bit more now than I remember it doing several years ago. Allergies?

That felt good! It's been a while since I've been out on a long solo ride, so today was much needed. As a bonus, Velo Vol would be proud of my hydration (or lack thereof) - 95 miles on two water bottles, with a ~pint of pre-hydration.

I rode the mup for a couple hours. It was nice and I wore gloves and a helmet. I did not have a handle bar bag but I did have a fredly seat bag. I went over 20mph, which is elite. I waved at a lot of people and I passed 3 e-bikes. 2 of them were weird looking contraptions.

I'm squarely in "okay, what else can I eat?" mode. Should prolly cool it since dinner will be in a couple hours.

Hydration came up as a topic of conversation at my Cardiologist appointment*. Pre-hydration specifically. I told him I was well versed in pre-hydration courtesy of a fuzzy mouse-bear. He looked puzzled.
*Who has Cardiologist appointments?
