Even on a clear day I would be a bit nervous on a boat….even a big boat. On the ocean their are always rogue waves out there somewhere that swallow ships. I am drawn to the water, even mesmerized by it. Like a moth to the flame, perhaps.
I have spent a lot of time boating. Encountering some nasty weather a couple of times, once dodging a water spout that was alarming. I can’t think of anything more terrifying than being lost at sea. Just Sunday morning the star pitcher for the Miami Marlins was killed when his boat capsized on off Miami Beach.
Another winner Mr. Mike. We are sailors and have been caught in a few situations that were rather scary and exciting at the same time. We’re smart and experienced sailors, but when Mother Nature changes her mind..look out.
I was once tortured by nightmares involving getting caught in floods, particularly when driving down a road which is overwhelmed by water and soon I find myself trying to survive in what has become a large river. It would wake me up, as nightmares do. Over time I came to understand what it represented for me, and I conquered all that by successfully swimming to shore in my dream. Then they stopped. Still, I have a fear of water and to be caught in something scary would not translate to exciting, for me.
Thank you. I don’t actually know your name…..may I know it?
Great shot Mike. Have you ever watched stormy cruise ship video’s on Ytube. It’s not my cup of tea and freaks me out to know there’s miles of water under you…bawk!
this is a classic!

Yes, I am a bit of a news junkie so I knew right away about all 3 guys killed on that boat. Speed kills.
