I have an unexplainable belief that I will never cause harm or be harmed while at sea. Because of this, I feel secure at sea: I feel secure in the ice, I feel secure in the storms, and I feel secure in confrontations.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
But I think one of the reasons I tend to stay in the water most of the time is I distrust the comfort.
The only time I get afraid is when I am at the ocean. I get a little nervous when I'm in the water because I always feel like something is going to bite or snatch me.
At sea, I feel comfortable and I come to rest.
I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.
Though the terror of the sea gives to none security, in the secret of the shell. Self preserving we may dwell.
I love and am terrified of the water, particularly the ocean.
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.
I have a pathological terror of falling through ice. I nearly drowned once. I fell off a boat and got a cramp, and was rescued by an oil-rig diver, a great bear of a man who simply leant into the water and scooped me out with one finger.
I've always been a very careful sailor. I know, me and being careful - doesn't really sound right, does it? But when I sail, I take it seriously and take along spares for everything. You have to be careful when you're 1,500 miles from land. There's no one you can call. You're on your own.
There's nothing that scares me more than, like, being in the ocean by myself.
