Why would you not want sea stories?
That's what makes life interesting!
I know you are aware of the ancient Chinese curse.
"May you live in interesting times."

But there's good stories too....
Listening to humpback whales singing through the hull.
Swimming with dolphins in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Hearing the hiss of the hull cutting through the water under full sail in the Atlantic with the bluest, clearest sky surrounding you.
Catching your first marlin.
That first glimpse of blue landmass.... and seeing the first land bird fly over.
Loads of great stuff!
There's "interesting" and there's fuckin' crazy.
Crazy is flying a chute in the Southern Ocean surfing down rollers at 20 knots in the dark dodging bergy bits with 33°F (1°C) green water pouring into the cockpit.
Crazy is for the young and the stupid.
Downwind tradewind sleighrides are one thing; ice, gales and cold are something else entirely— they're off my list.
This looks like fucking fun, eh?
No fucking there, Thor.
What is this?
amazing
