I get terribly seasick! I still remember going on a wonderful snorkel expedition by yacht in Hawaii only to end up far too seasick to even swim let alone sample the wonderful buffet on the boat!

As I wrote in a comment, naturally, I never got sea-sick when I was driving the powered boat when I lived on Newry Island, but sailing never drew me...perhaps if I'd been able to always be above deck I would've been okay! lol<br /><br />Thanks for dropping in.

I can understand yachties enjoying a race or two and the crafts are magnificent...but it's not for me, racing or otherwise.<br /><br />A good friend of mine has sailed the world a few times...even the Great Southern Ocean. He's not long sailed across the Pacific, alone from the Caribbean where he spent sailing for a couple of years. He's a true blue sailor, but at present is a land-lubber now based in Germany. His tales of time spent on the ocean are worth listening to...but for myself, I have no desire to physically be part of them.<br /><br />I've a known and befriend quite a few who love life sailing the ocean waves aboard a yacht...and they've all been good people.<br /><br />Oddly,even though it's not my cup of tea, I can understand the lure of the wonder, the peace (not riding storms)...the beauty...it's a conundrum!<br /><br />Thanks for popping in. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-34163731133172631082014-06-22T14:06:02.288-07:002014-06-22T14:06:02.288-07:00All is well down this way thanks, Carol...I hope t...All is well down this way thanks, Carol...I hope the same is up there in the northern precincts. :)<br /><br />Take care.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-70455570286379540262014-06-22T11:45:58.496-07:002014-06-22T11:45:58.496-07:00Fair weather sailing is the best!

I'd always thought they were closer together. <br />I've never been much into boating, just admiring the sight of small yachts streaming along with the wind in their sails is enough for me.
