I love the sea so much. Sigh.
One of the things I want to do before I die is get on a ship & go far out in the Ocean, miles and miles and miles away from any shore. Then, when all the stars are out, snuff out every deck lamp, lay down and face upward and gaze in wonder at the universe.
I could probably die then and be content. Yep. I love water. I was on the swim team my whole life growing up and then again on the Masters team as an adult. I slept on a water-bed as a child (my daughter now sleeps on it) and each time I visit the beach every single care in me disappears. It truly does suck to be so land-locked.
