Or swimming for a month. It takes a long time to swim to the islands.

Frankly, at whatever point you decide to use aviation as a tool rather

than just

entertainment, it behooves you to make it reliable. That just isn't

possible in

an all-VFR world.

I hope to never fall into that trap. Single engine, single pilot IFR in the
clag is not my definition of reliable or desirable transportation. Anything
beyond that means you are mostly a button pushing knob twisting passenger.
Not much brain activity required and horribly boring.

It was both reliable and desirable for me for more than 6 years. When I
can own my own airplane again, it'll be the same again. The stats for
IFR flying aren't all that bad for a well-trained pilot in a
well-maintained airplane.
