Sail is the thing. Yes, indeed. I am sailing around the British Isles
in my 115 foot cutter. Well, not quite. It's courtesy Virtual Sailor, but if you haven't got a boat, this is the next best thing.
I think it may be possible to sail from Lowestoft to Flushing, starting in a sea mist and a current to take me out to sea. Night will
fall and a westerly storm will blow up, so the only thing I can do is sail clear across the North Sea. To make it more authentic, maybe I should sail a 30 foot vessel, instead of my favourite 115 foot baby.
Now, should I reef or not...?
