September 25, 2005 - I love the Ocean so much...why does she punish me so?

We’ve been at sea for about 24 hours now. I’ve slept for much of those 24 hours. The sea can look so beautiful and calm from a distance. But, when you are a tiny little leaf floating in its endlessness, the ocean grows bigger.

I’m normally very susceptible to sea sickness. Planes, trains, and automobiles don’t bother me at all. The ocean makes me miserable. The Scopolamine patch has definitely taken the edge off and I am grateful for that. It has probably helped me to sleep through most of this motion as well.

I guess this journey started Thursday when Paul and I left for the airport. We’ve managed so far and in a little over half a day, we should be at our destination. Then I’ll see whether the sea will finally welcome me.
