Very disorienting, salt water. We cannot see well enough to judge the conditions rightly. Also, salt water is impossible to analyze by nose, which is our primary guidance system. Oceans are too moody, and that’s a fact. And you can’t drink them.
We wade sometimes, but only as far as our legs are planted. None of this bobbing-around business.
We stay where are We are designed for. Fresh water.

In case you are not familiar with the 1911 song, ‘Doing the Oceana Roll’, YouTube has 3 versions, each with things to recommend it. You could try Eddie Morton’s, Arthur Collins’, or Jane Powell. It’s sort of addictive if you like Rag, which I do.

I wonder if they were following the song lines running around the earth, esp. the ones of their cousins the whales. For some its an orientation. How would we ever know where we are connected if we didn’t venture out into the unknown?
