The sea, she is harsh

My Seward trip ultimately was a bust, as far as catching fish goes. However, the boat ride was great fun. We were stepping hard on the waves. For a long time I was outside the cabin, with the sea spray in my face. I felt a firm connection to the sea, and kept thinking how much fun I was having.

I loved it.

However, the sea was rough. When we stopped for a few minutes the movement of the boat side to side, and in circles was an entirely different experience.

Yes, I ultimately gave up my breakfast to the sea.

I learned some important things that day:

1> I really like being on a boat
2> bananas are bad luck on a boat
3> Ginger really helps to settle your stomach fast.

Yea, I had heard it works before (Thats why ginger ale helps settle your stomach), but chewing on the ginger root settled it fast!
