(Well, not really, but the mere thought of composing-thoughts and words-wrenches my gut.\u00a0 In fact, one of the oddest effects of life on the sea is how dumb one feels.\u00a0 The way I figure it-a good 95-percent of one’s mind, that is normally free for thought and consideration, is now occupied by the most basic of actions, body movements that typically require only the subconscious.\u00a0 As a result, we all become blabbering fools.\u00a0 Well, for much of the time.\u00a0 I for one have been ridiculously slaphappy, laughing at the dumbest of jokes, at fruit falling from a bowl and casting across the room, or at any of the dozens of remarkable falls by just about every crew member.)<\/p>\n
