I never found travelling through ships/boats appealing. I have travelled small distances in public boats, and it makes me somewhat sea sick.

I live thousands of kilometers away from the sea, that could be the reason I love land.

Or I don't know how to swim.

Or a few astrologers have predicted that I might die drowning in water, lol😅

One of my worst fear is being stuck in the sea in a mirror dingy as you have shared in your post.

One man's adventure is another man's worst nightmare😖

But we are talking about rivers not oceans right?

I have done water rafting a few times. It was fun when done with friends, for a short distance like 10-15 km.
Won't do any more than that, or any longer than that.

Lol, I am made for land only maybe😅

Anyway, I do hope that all the travel restrictions do get lifted. And people can move freely like they used to before covid.
And all your plans come fruitful🙂

Till then, keep dreaming. One day, all those dreams will come true🙂
