Quite simple actually. Same reason I won’t get on a plane or boat that goes out of sight of the nearest land.
Why? because if the damn things end up putting me in the water … I want to know which way to start swimming!
thanks for the chance to laugh.
You know, considering I have a real phobia of sharks, I would much prefer to get on a boat that gets stuck in the middle of the ocean than a plane (in fact Helene joked about it when we were on the way to the airport saying that she should have put me on a boat a couple of months ago to get to CAP Euro).
I went on a cruise back when I was 18 for schoolies (this is what we call our end of school party thing in Oz) and I was fine. No anxiety… Even though I knew there was a possibility of the boat sinking.. And I was on it for 10 days. I have a feeling though that it’s because I know I am a great swimmer and there is no real trauma involved in the sinking… If I could get off the boat and swim away I will be fine… until the sharks come.
PS – Sorry to hear about your dad mate. *hugs from Oz*
