http://www.sailorbits.com/forum/rss/forum_13/ Latest threads on: SailOrbits.com - Are You in the Orbit? http://www.sailorbits.com/forum/family-forum-life-with-a-sailor-13/what-is-it-like-to-be-with-a-sailor/ Many of us ashore believe that once you are married to a sailor--all you get to do is visit beautiful and exotic ports, shop till you drop and have all the fun you can.
Well, allow me to enlighten you on that score--it's all of that and yet much more. You do get to see beautiful and unheard of places, you do get to shop a lot--but in between all of that you are lucky to see nature at its best and worst. Those of us who have been lucky to be out in the open sea--will probably understand how beautiful the sea can be in all all varied forms--sometimes calm and gentle while at other times it's angry swells threatning to devour you up.
Life with a sailor on a ship is so dramatically different from that we spend on shore, it is sometimes overwhelming. And frankly speaking we cannot narrow it down to a few points. From the social point of view--some of you may think that those of us sailing loose out too much--but on that you are quite wrong. I have gained a lot of true and dear friends while on board. There are books to read, movies to be seen--and the amazing parties to be attended , when the weather holds good.
And as I cannot sumarise all of it here--let me just end by saying that it is a novel experience, to be cherished for all times.]]> http://www.sailorbits.com/forum/family-forum-life-with-a-sailor-13/what-is-it-like-to-be-with-a-sailor/ Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:23:53 +0000 Mohana
