Had my opinion changed

I used to love the sea, both being on it and being in it. However, about 10 years ago, I stayed in a small fishing village on the north east coast of England. This night, I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd go out for a walk. It was summer and the sea had been calm during the day. However, the tide was in as I was walking around and I could hear it slamming against the harbour wall. As it was the middle of the night, there were no other sounds to distract me from this noise and I found the sound and power of the sea quite intimidating.
I'd rather not be on the water now and prefer to remain a land lubber

I love being near the sea, myself. I'm like 3 blocks away and at night I can hear the waves against the cliffs here. But the sea isn't what it once was. With this algae. Makes you feel sick if you spend too much time near the water.

@Thevy29 - I probs made the right decision to keep out of it then ?

@UKNaturist So far the algae is only effecting us here along the St Vincent Gulf. It's killing the local fishing industry and the local Oyster farms too.
