I can just about paddle in the sea as long as I can see the bottom and their is no seaweed or fish. I did get up the courage to whale watch when we were on Cape Cod for a holiday and it was one of the most moving experiences I have ever had. You just have no idea how beautiful these creatures are, Majestic is probably the right word and we were so lucky they put on a real show for us there were about 20 whales in the water around our boat at one time (I was a little scared)it was like a ballet for something so huge they were very graceful. I was glad however to get my feet back on terra firma.<br />Love JillxxBluebellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458535395527061126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36936171259835220.post-17980052379953489402010-04-07T00:34:18.632-05:002010-04-07T00:34:18.632-05:00I am scared of heights!

Put me in a canoe in the middle of a lake, and I'm the happiest you'll ever see. <br /><br />As for my fears, I would probably say falling. I love heights, like being on a mountain or something else I know won't crumble. But put me on an old ladder, and I'm scared to death. I'm working on it though, so hopefully that will go away soon. <br />-MissyAMistressAlcyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569322804768975960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36936171259835220.post-37043765317986036962010-04-06T07:21:37.762-05:002010-04-06T07:21:37.762-05:00I've been in and out and on the water my whole...I've been in and out and on the water my whole life so that's not a big fear for me--though I have a healthy respect for the power of water and worry a lot more about drowning or hypothermia than I do sharks, etc....I spend a lot of time on boats, wading through hip deep water in search of critters and lots of time hanging out with kids and nets catching tadpoles and turtles in fresh water and crabs and fish in salt water ;-)<br /><br />as for fears? I'm not big on things creeping around in the dark. I have done a lot of full moon walks in my time and seen lots of shiny eyeballs staring at me and that gives me the shivers, i have to admit...i am not a fan of spider webs in my face (first one out on the woodland trail always gets spider webs in the face!) and free moving fire makes me nervous...i don't have any big phobias but i do have a healthy fear and respect of things that could hurt me ;-)Mary Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12987381109911597964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36936171259835220.post-41334305967997020502010-04-06T05:26:17.295-05:002010-04-06T05:26:17.295-05:00Oh, Kathy, I feel the same about water - not a hug...Oh, Kathy, I feel the same about water - not a huge fan of being in it, but I do try to overcome it a bit since we live by the beach. Here in the South I won't go into any small pond or standing water because of the snakes and alligators, but I do swim in the ocean. So far so good. <br /><br />Only in August I stay out of the water because of all the stinging jelly fish and sting rays that come here to breed. <br /><br />I thought I felt the same as you about cruises, but I've been on two now and LOVE it. We are going again this year. Those ships are so huge, you almost forget you are on a boat. But my favorite part - sitting up on deck somewhere and looking out at the ocean. There's nothing more inspiring to me!<br /><br />Have a wonderful day! And stay dry... Love, SilkeSilke Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094855019089665976noreply@blogger.com
