For so many reasons (vertigo, not being able to swim, fear of being stuck in the middle of the ocean with heart palpitations), I was so nervous about going on a boat trip today whilst on holiday. But I’ve always wanted to see whales in their habitat. Anyway, I did it. I have never been on such a tortuous trip in my life because of the choppy Atlantic Ocean. My two children were being violently sick, as were half of the passenger. It was very quiet on board. I felt so sick and shaky but I did it. I saw whales and I survived it.
