Ocean is powerful. Before being a surfer and following storm forecasts to chase good swells, I had no idea how much energy a storm on the open ocean could generate.
For who is interested on sailing, I recommend all the books written by Amyr Klink. He describes in a beautiful and poetic way his journeys across the seven seas. It’s very interesting when he describes the day he faced a 4 hundred meters iceberg (this is just 10% of it’s real size) that traveled oposite to the wind, on his direction. The iceberg follows the sea currents, it does’t care about the wind direction.
- RossTech 9y agoAwesome recommendation on Amir Klink. He really is a modern day adventurer and explorer. I love that he has his own mad lab, so to speak. I interviewed him a while back actually. He was a gentleman and immensely interesting. Check it out if you like. http://www.interviewswithinterestingpeople.com/amyr-klink-solo-sailor-extrordinaire/ http://www.interviewswithinterestingpeople.com/amyr-klink-so... His adventures are really great.
- edpichler 9y agoThank you for sharing. There are also really good speches on youtube. I also follow him on Instagram, and it´sfunny to see a normal day of a such exotic human being. He is on his sixties now, I wish to shake his hand in a near future.
