Ditto on the prayers. :-(
My wife also doesn’t much like being in a small boat on open water. But, for her it’s more being on deep vs. shallow water. I keep telling her that over 6’ (she’s petite) it won’t matter much except to the recovery crew. That’ll get me an angry glare!

Survivors on the boat before rescue.
That is a really small boat to my eyes.
I guess that being in a harbor provides a sense of safety.
Beau tells me that, too! He wants to go on cruises, and I’m kind of coming around to the River Cruise idea. I could PROBABLY swim to shore if I had to...
He also tells me that if I slip and fall correctly I can ‘drown’ in the toilet at home!
Yeah. Neither of you are of ANY help to me, LOL! ;)
