What puts the fear of G-d into me is that in places like Drake Passage, there’s no way out and it’s like a giant washing machine with splashes up to 40 feet and the occasional rogue over 60 feet, coming from strange directions. This is different to a steady, rolling swell – it doesn’t really [...]

This week, I’m running with a new theme which hopefully addresses the concerns of Dearieme and others: 1. Ability to see a good “overview” of what the article is about, configurable for length; 2.
