Oh to be able to travel without seasickness/motion sickness. All my life I've been plagued by it--car, train, bus, streetcar, boats, ships, swings, fishing docks not moving but the water flowing underneath makes it seem so, airplanes, theme-park rides.....

There is a great amount of freedom that comes with the sea, I feel.

Nautikos
I sailed the Atlantic too, and the English Channel and ferry to Wales, and the St. Lawerence and sailed a sloop in Rivière Des Praries and I never got seasick either. Wonderful how magnets can draw out your experiences but I don't remember hearing them having an MRI because I have this wonderful ability to simply fall asleep quickly.

The power of the mind is amazing.
So glad you could find the mental escape you needed to get through the Hell of what you were going through.

Yes, please do write about your sea adventures, Nautikos! Reading this, I hope I never have to experience an MRI.

Well I went out in a boat once Naut I don't mind how far out one goes as long as one can touch the seabed with the oar, you are frightening me already.

Crickets. Cicadas. Locusts on a summer night,
as you cruise by the shores of the Eastern Woodlands.
No idea what they have ratchetting away in Wales. But I have been in the Tube, and I know what you mean. I also found it kinda fascinating, but I don't have issues with close spaces.

I think its so awesome that you can drift away in the machine; I can't get past the magnetics and the damn noise! I wish you would write of your adventures on the seas! sam

You and the Sea
I just loved reading your tales of the sea. You captured each moment and held it until another moved in. You are a beautiful writer. As a tribute to all our writer, poet friends, My last post is a tribute to all of you. I look forward to reading more of your tales.

Way back many generations, some of my dad's people were Danes.
Danes (vikings?) are seafarers. Maybe that's why the lurching of a boat or ship in the waves doesn't gag me. I'm never so at peace as when out on the water. Great way to think when you're in the belly of the beast. :)
