I don't like deep water. Being on a boat makes me anxious and afraid. My worst nightmare would be to be a fish, surrounded by a vast abyss of deep blue. I also don't like not knowing what lies beneath the water's surface. Like I always imagine that if I lean too far over into a body of water, a thing will suddenly launch out and pull me under.

Funny thing is though, I have a clear and vivid moment in my memory where I'm trapped on a huge American Destroyer and its been hit by a torpedo and sinking during WW II. Yet I don't remember ever seeing anything like that when I was young. I just blame that memory for my fear of deep water.
