Red Sails #MFRWauthor

Sunset sailingRemember that song, Red Sails in the Sunset? Probably not unless you’re as old as dirt, like me. I always liked it, though. So romantic, watching a sailing ship in the sunset as it sets out on the ocean. The sails are billowing and catching the last rays of the sun. There is adventure there. There is a dream. There is the wide sea and endless stars during the night. But there is NOT me.

I happen to believe in reincarnation. Somewhere in one of my past lives I must have drowned because I have a powerful fear of water. Many people see a cruise as a chance to get away, different shows every night, buffets any time you want to eat, sweet salt breezes, all kinds of games and people to meet. I see rogue waves, deep ocean, and living on a ship with the population of a small town and no place to go if I want to get off.

Essentially, after folks were trapped aboard ship and unable to disembark Cruise shipthanks to corona virus, no one can cruise right now. But even in the happiest of times, no way would you get me on a cruise ship. I’m happy for those who do enjoy the voyage. More power to you! I understand lots of people have already signed up for when ships set sail again. For me, I’ll happily wave goodbye from the shore!

How about you? Are you a happy sailor or a landlubber, like me?
