The North Sea and English Channel are probably most famous for their weather and for the volume of shipping that passes through them every day - whereas the Irish Sea is just famous for its weather!
But if you live in England and want to go foreign, then you just have to cross them!
During the 1980s I logged thousands of miles running  regular sailing charters to Europe, Ireland and the Isle of Man.  These were generally with novice crews but we always had fun, even if the weather was occasionally a bit boisterous!
