What is your unforgettable experienced at sea?

Post by Jeremie Mondejar »

What is your unforgettable experienced at sea? Like Tina and her family had a unique lifestyle at sea. We all know that it is dangerous yet full of adventure to live near the sea, or surrounded by the bodies of water.

I've never been to see but I would love to experience it someday!

I once took a ferry that bobbled all the way to a remote island. Not really much in the category of adventure but an experience in its own.

Crossing in the sea is full of adventure but I was nearly drawn when my cousins pushed me down. I don't like it ever.

Definitely boogie boarding at Gordon's Bay; nothing is quite like riding a wave or ending up under it - I imagine that's what it must be like inside a washing machine. Great sandy fun.

Went to see little tobago, from off the coast of actual Tobago, and the boat shut down in the middle of the sea. The tour guide says "well we are already in the sea, best dive out and see what you find!". Throws me out with a very small make shift scuba head piece and tells me swim. Mind you i was only twelve at the time. Definitely unforgettable

Wow, childhood experiences at sea seems unforgettable. And, whatever be our actions that time, we carry it as we grow older. My reactions makes me a hydroponic.

My experiences right now are basic family and friend beach trips, or short boat rides and swimming. I'd love to go deep sea fishing, scuba diving, or anything else similar. Being from an island and then growing up with beaches nearby, I love the sea.

Latest Review: "That Place of Knowledge" by Philip Alan Shalka

Post by Ljessup »

My unforgettable experience is quite embarrassing and happened with my husband. We were not way out in the sea, but we were in the ocean and we were on those boogie boards that kids ride waves with. We were out much further than I have ever been or ever want to be again and enjoying the sunshine and water. My husband looked down and saw white balls floating all around me. They were literally everywhere and even on my skin. When he pointed it out to me I automatically thought some sea creature was getting me! I was so scared and freaking out in my floats, because I cannot swim, and was paddling desperately to get away from whatever animal was attacking me. When I reached where I could stand I ran out of the water and collapsed on the sand, and that is when I realized my husband was laughing hysterically. Apparently my boogie board had a hole in it and it was leaking the white beads that are inside of it. It was our honeymoon and my husband never lets me forget that day when we go to the beach. Dramatic, I know, but I swore I was about to be devoured by something. :D

Definitely whale watching. Took me further out than I normally like but it was an amazing experience.
Life without a good book is something MrsCatInTheHat cannot imagine.

I personally love cruising. I love being on that open water with absolutely no land in sight. It's an amazing experience. To see a sunset or sunrise at sea is something else.

I once rode a ferry from Alaska to Vancouver. The ferry was 330 feet long and was supposed to take the inland passage but that night a storm came up. The sea was so rough that they were afraid of grounding the ferry .they took it out to the more open water. The waves were big enough that waves hitting the bow sent spray all the way to the stern. It did not make me sick but half of the crew got seasick.

Experiences at sea often times enjoyable but hoping every thing will be good. Because we can't easily work out when something happens, we feel a vacuum that is pushing us down .

Took a catamaran from St. Thomas to St. John's in the USVI. Deepest shade of blue I've ever seen anywhere. I was fascinated and didn't want to leave.

Latest Review: "Life Before" by K.L. Romo

I've been to beach trips a lot when I was a kid but the most memorable experience I can't forget is the first time I saw someone stung by a jellyfish. It was the first time I saw a jellyfish in person and it was kind of weird for me back then. It looked harmless to me so I can't wrap my head around the idea of a jellyfish hurting someone. So much for a kid who believes everything in this world is "friendly".
