Boats

I’m not a huge fan of boats. Let me define that a little more. I am not a fan of huge boats on huge bodies of water, or small boats on huge bodies of water, or sail boats on any body of water. I am more of pontoon on a lake kind of girl. I can swim, though. I probably have an unnecessary fear of rogue waves. My husband now regrets letting me watch the Poseidon Adventure. His hopes of going on a cruise (with me) were forever dashed when that cruise ship in the Caribbean was tipped (although not all the way over).


Now I am reading an abridged for young readers version of Moby-Dick to the boys. They seem entirely unaffected by the gore of the book, and have no expressed fear in going on a boat. Of course, we are not to the end yet…..


I, on the other hand, now have two things to worry me in the ocean: rogue waves and rogue whales.
