The boat's mate was telling me that he's had people ask him to shoot them.

"Take me in or shoot me. Whichever is faster" was one of the times when they had gone out on a 14 hour trip.

He says he's had experienced fishermen go out and just die (not literally) over the side of the boat. I'm not too worried about it. I just don't like the feeling.


After I reached the inlet area at Carolina Beach in calmer waters I downed two sandwiches and a gatorade. Then I had a big cup of ice cream on the shore. It was a relatively good day. I liked being out on the water when I wasn't puking. The bad thing is my Mom forgot to give me the sea sickness pill this morning. She had thought she gave it to me...but nope...I didn't know we had pills.
