Helen, I firmly believe CO could have been a major factor in the crew nodding off, and using the island as a way point. Perhaps they figured they'd head for the island and decide which way they'd round it when they got there. Isn't there a maximum amount of time allowance for cruisers motoring? I think in the MdR to San Diego Race the cruisers have a mandatory two hours of motoring, and no more, but I could be wrong.
