>>>>I couldn't do something like that. I'm claustophobic - managable in normal life but something like that would put me into total death-panic. I hate closing doors at home, sleep with my bedroom door & windows open, stuff like that.<<<<

I've always been curious about the floatation aspect of a dep. tank but do think the claustrophobia might keep me from trying it anytime soon.

>>>>I think one reason the ocean is so attractive is the sheer openness & far off distant horizon - infinite. Isn't listening to the waves magical<<<<

I love being able to look out to the horizon and see nothing but water....The sound of the waves is very magical and soothing.

>>>>I lived two blocks from the beach when I was younger - the happiest time of my life. I was at the beach almost every day most of the day. I had to be dragged home at night. Now I live 30-40 miles from it. Property near the ocean is very expensive & hard to find, especially as I'd like to be able to buy instead of renting forever. Oh well, outside my bedroom window are some poplar trees (like aspen) whose leaves make a water-like noise with the slightest breeze. It soothes me in place of the waves.<<<<

I love the sound of light winds rustling through leaves (and I'm sure that the leaves are beautiful to watch as they move as well as making a lovely sound.)

>>>> I sure can imagine getting tangled in the kelp while surfing. It's what sea otters use to anchor themselves. But then when I watch shows like that, I imagine myself more an animal than person. How long you been surfing & how high are the faces of the waves you ride? Man, that's a beautiful sport - the type I love, no competition except with yourself.<<<<

The otters hang out in one of the surf spots I used to go to.........they'd hang there on their backs cracking open their shells on rocks on their bellies....the surfers and otters seem to have some kind of peaceful truce (local fishermen seem to have different ideas though).......but getting all tangled up in the kelp isn't fun especially when you 'spin cycle' through it. I'm a total wimp surfer-----Mavericks ain't my cup of tea.....I'm more of a mushy head high longboarder. About 10 yrs now in the water but sadly at least 2 since I last surfed =(

That's one goal for when I know my depression has lifted enough or the med balance is right.....when I have that oomph to get back on my board and commune with good ol' ma ocean.

Thanks for nice words IsoM. I think I'll have to check my library later on this year for the Blue Planet videos.
