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.
