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? http

  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.

        Correct. You can make it easy or tough simply by choosing smaller/bigger sail and applying less/more force. So it can be very relaxing in 20 knots, especially on a lake.
