I’ve spent 2wks adrift on a powerless fishing boat at sea, before being rescued. My immediate memory of the frightening experience is how scary the pitch black the sea was. The passing shadows of large sea life that was cast from the moon light. One’s imagination really starts warping & overwhelms your reality. Throw in thirst, hunger, sea sickness & the constant barrage of salt water spray, death seemed less a threat and more the relief. So yeah, the ocean is unforgiving!
