Each required from two to six hours of outside work together, they added nearly a full day to our travel time.

We paid the price for such daring, too, to the tune of three hull ridges and a pair of hairline cracks. THE FIVE-DAY TRIP to Beyscrim was the longest jump at one stretch that we'd tried yet with the Icarus.
