A friend of my told me about his plans to sail around the world a while back. I suggested that instead of “just” hitting standard destinations along the route, he should visit the best surf spots around the globe.

Westcoast of Europe (UK, France, Spain, Portugal), Morocco, Canary Islands, Cap Verde, Caribean, Panama, Costa Rica, Australia, NZ…All of them are along the route most sailers take, and full of world class surf spots.

The trip would probably take 2-3 years to do. And at least 2 years of preparations. But what a trip it would be!

I wonder if he can get back to Monday mornings in the office after such a trip.

I’ve got Thursday and Friday off this week. Should I leave the smog and go surfing…?

YES!

But more difficult is to figure out where to go… the forecast for Saunton is not looking great - too much wind - Saunton at MSW

Maybe this is the perfect opportunity to venture down to the south of Portugal, fly into Faro with Ryanair and spend a few days traveling around. Or maybe go to Wales for a few days. Or maybe hop over to Biarritz. Oh, these wonderful choices
