*shudder* I've been at sea. Boats have this annoying tendancy of telling you that in over a minute you will die, they dont move fast but they carry the mommentum of a solar system - and so much is out of your control with currents and windage - and so much goes wrong so often - and frustratingly it happens at such a pace that it's hardly seat of your pants and more of an innevitability steadily heading toward you.
*squirms at the thought of her first submarine experience - in a 28ft motor sailor*.
