LOL.... Blue.. I was not saying it can't be done... more a case of doing it comfortably today...
When sailboats were used for commerce there were many routes in all seasons that were used to make a living... thats a whole lot different from doing it today.
Not many advise going S running before at the moment on here (CF) from what I've been reading... let alone heading Nth.
Not many advise taking a 22ftr across the Biscay in December either.. don't mean it can't be done....

It looks like their headsail is torn. That would slow them down.

Boat, crew, accomplices, and drugs in the capable hands of Bermuda police.
Most of us water-people think first $200,000 should go to U.S Coast Guard, to pay for search.

I dunno how law enforcement works in your part of the world, but in the parts I have encountered the seized drugs are not then sold retail to raise cash for the arresting officers / Dept.

Not officially anyway

LOL DOJ

Not done that way up here either.

The boat will become a siezed asset of the drug trade, along with any other assets of the people involved, if proven to be crime related acquisitions, if alledged persons are convicted.
