Sailing: Sail to Japan?

Question

My friend is planning to sail to Japan by herself. I don't want her to go but she suffered so much at home and I don't want to blame her. I want to save her but I don't want to hurt her in the same way. She haves Child Care councils, they made it worser for her. Her parents treats her like **** and she can't take it anymore and now she is going to get ready to sail there. Will it be dangerous for her, should I stop her?

Answer 1

YES!

Answer 2

If she were my friend I would find  way to talk her out of it. It is a very long distance, across an ocean that is not peaceful, and there are many dangers inherent in such a voyage. Unless she is a real sailor, competent at navigation, and able to handle her boat by herself in ANY weather, she is on a suicide voyage. Why Japan? She will need a Japanese visa to get into the country, also.
