Going from Pakistan to Russia seems like the wrong way around Cape Horn. Today you've got 30 kt winds gusting up to 50 kts. Who wants to beat into that?

I windsurf in 30 knot winds at sea. Yeah, it's rough, but it's not hurricane level madness that rips ships apart.

    That sounds like a lot of fun :)

      Wind surfing has a surprisingly high fun/expertise ratio. You can start surfing on your own in as little as 2 hours of training. I was chasing dolphins on my second day of surfing.

      Of course, like any sport/hobby, it can take years to master but even for complete beginners it can a lot of fun.
