Time for a yarn~  a few hours facing icey wind, wearing survival suits in an open boat with two steady Evinrudes churning into the slam, in January, off Logy Bay, Newfoundland... looking for oiled birds... when the boys wanted to head for Cape Spear, I said, that's it for me lads..put me ashore!

I love the sea. I wish I could live near to the sea. Living in the middle of the country I have to rely on holidays to get my sea fix! I love the waves, the way the light glistens on it, the peaceful sound of the waves hitting the rocks, the way it never looks the same. I have been to alot of beautiful countries but you really can't beat a British beach. The sea is colder here though!

I feel the same as you, Stephanie.  I've never lived near the shore, so when your an inlander, the first glimpse of it always takes your breath away.  As for cold water, I think the Pacific is way colder than the Atlantic.  My childhood memories are of the Jersey shore, not too far from Krissy.  With the gulf stream, the ocean there was always around 80° in summer, so I could never get used to the cold Pacific. 

What the sea means to me, Anna, is memories - vacations at the Jersey shore and Cape Cod as a child, my son as a 1-year old digging in the sand, and as an older kid visiting his cousins in Galveston, TX.  Camping out at Big Sur, being lulled to sleep by the surf and wondering how many billions of times waves had broken on that shore. Watching groups of seagulls circling offshore, and training the binos on the sea otter beneath that had their attention, the bottle nose dolphins racing our whale watching boat in Monterey Bay, keeping us entertained whilst waiting for the fog to lift.

Thanks, Anna.  I love your yarn. Can't say that I blame you.  Newfoundland in January, brrrrrrr.
