Thank you 😊
I can only imagine how elated you felt
I was on a natural high for about two weeks. Every day I woke up and laughed hysterically before heading back to work. I was eager to return, but my schedule didn't allow me to.
Why do you still fear water when you outrightly thrived in it?
I think I underestimated the tour and how treacherous many sections were, and the risk involved. However, my principle of doing what I need to do if faced with danger kicked in, I suppose. Still, I need to spend more time in rivers (my fav body of water) and develop to a level where I'm comfortable before going to the sea which makes me lapse back into my fear. I don't like the deep blue and get motion sickness from just seeing the movement of the waves.
Getting used to the sea is going to be one big lapse and one shouldn't rush into it. Personally, I get jittery whenever I come close to little water bodies talk less of the sea😅
I don't even like being in a boat at sea. I lived right on the seafront in the Philippines for 7 years. I spent most days on the shore. I only went in a few times and stayed close to shore because sea snakes were prevalent.
On days when there were rough seas, I got motion sickness while cooking, just from looking at the sea from my window 😅
Oh, and the salt sea water burns my eyes too, and I don't find it very pleasant. 😏
