The West Sea

Frustrating. Onshore wind and waves have me pinned on the Danish coastline.

At times it looks OK to sail and perhaps is, but with no landing options between Thorsminde and Hvide Sande this next 43km might as well be an open sea crossing. I came within a whisker of leaving today - suited up, board next to the water - then had a final test of the rig against the wind and thought better of it.

Here are a few pictures of Thorsminde (current location), together with some from the Battle of Jutland war memorial at Thyborøn that made my petty sense of frustration dissolve in an instant.

Sometimes we (and of course I mean I) need to stop striving! - for miles, progress, achievement, whatever - and instead just be content to be.
