今天的难忘经历。

开始篇：
下午2点45分，各路人马陆续到达。 天已放晴，海天一色，大家踌躇满志。

＂今日长缨在手，何时缚住苍龙。＂

登船后大家迅速占领了有利地形。

气温有些低，风浪有些大。

難忘的經驗,
雖有點遺憾,沒能拍到鯨魚,
遇到如此的大風浪,
和美麗的黃昏景色,
此行留下的甚是美妙的回憶.

感谢农夫甲组织的活动，因为晕船，没怎么拍片，下次有机会再去

确是一次难忘的经历。
很喜欢mark的20120121WWJ_6273这张。

下午3：54分，甲板上风浪太大，有的同志成了落汤鸡。不少人躲进了船舱。

风浪在继续，船舱也进水了。

下午4点：
“还有没有晕船药？！”有人问。在登船时滞销的晕船药终于有了第二春。二盒很快就派光了。我知道开始晕船的远不止我一个人。

下午4：50分
没有鲸鱼，没有海豚，在漫无结果的一阵搜寻后，我们的船只在无奈中返航了。失望的情绪在船舱中弥漫开来。

美丽的晚霞和绚丽的夜景让我们重新振作起来。
一次遺憾的旅行，却因为它的不完美，而带来一次很独特的感受，和更多的期待。

Thank you for organizing the trip. I had a wonderful time. We were all prepared for the cold and wet weather - we even had ski pants on.

One of the women on deck was panicing and started hyper-ventilating (blowing heavily through the mouth).
I was really concern that she would black out (happens when you have too much carbon
Dioxide in your body). I was happy to be able to calm her down and warm her up with the extra parka I had with me. Later on, I found my parka wrapped around her little girl who was scared to death and was freezing. Felt good that I was able to help them.

From my rescue-diver training class, I learned that Sea-sick happens when you vision sensors and auditarial sensors got confused and send conflicting information to the brain. You can either desencitize yourself (pills), or interfere with the signal path (magnetic bracelets), or do one of the many things people swears by which has nothing to do with anything. Whatever works.

The one thing you SHOULD NOT do (which everybody does anyway), is to lay down in a curled up position and wish that it will get better. The best thing to do is to stand up at the back of the boat midway between the sides and look as far back as you can. This serves to minimize the rocking motion your ears are experiencing, as well as minimize the up and down feeling your eyes are feeling. Get your mind off the sea sickness by focusing on the fresh air, the ocean, the sky, the friends, whatever (that's why everybody came alive when they saw the Dolfins). Your brain will eventually settle down.

I had to take a ferry to school everyday throughout my secondary school days. That's why my sensors don't get confused by the ocean.

BTW: I really like picture 4811.

这样的心态对于我们拍自然和风光的人来说太重要了。拍到了当然要庆幸人品好，拍不到也是人生一段美好的回忆...
