Not only that, but when I read Patrick's post an image came to mind, and it
was the image of standing on a hill on the Southwest corner of the Isle of
Jersey in the Channel Islands, UK, in a strong westerly blow, and watching
the waves crash and rise 100 feet or more into the air, and thinking: My
God, I'm glad I'm not out there right now.  I also thought of much of the
Western coast of Ireland. . . .  Seems to me the conditions that are
regularly offered up by the English Channel, and the Irish coast, and the
difficulty of much of the coastline, makes even Superior look rather
inviting.  Not that Superior doesn't have some serious conditions.  But
jeez.  BTW, for some fun reading recounting (and occasionally exaggerating)
trips through the English Channel and cetera, I recommend Tristan Jones. . .
. just for fun.
