I was completely humbled and humiliated by the sea on Saturday.  While trying to kayak on the ocean in 60 degree water I got thrown off the boat (ocean kayak...you can fall off.)  I used a bunch of energy getting back on the boat, only to be thrown off almost immediately thereafter.  I got back on, thrown back off.  It was all I could do at this point to just hang on to the boat.  Of course, I got thrown off again.  I got to the point where I wasn't sure I could make it back to the shore, and had a little help doing so.  Once I made it back, I promptly threw up on the beach, completely exhausted.  The seagulls ate my puke.
