This is a question Water, boats and all that floats

Scaryduck hasn't changed the question because he's away drinking on a boat. So.

Tell us your stories of drinking and sinking, in piddly little pedalos all the way up to that oil tanker you "borrowed" ...

Genuinely wished I was fucking dead.
Very, very fortunate to be invited on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to take a 65-foot yacht from a marina in New Jersey to dry dock in The Bahamas. Once you get to The Chesapeake Bay you can pick up the intercoastal waterway and have a nice leisurely cruise along that. It's like a fucking massive canal. However, on the way down there the weather turned shite and as we were on open seas we headed into Atlantic City for a couple of days. I went to buy some stuff to cook on deck and came back with some particularly fresh tuna. Steve (who had invited us) decided it was so good we were going to have it raw, which we did. Next day no problem. We had it again that evening and the next day set off back into the awful weather to get to Chesapeake Bay before it got worse. Now, despite working on ships for a couple of years I never got my sea-legs and I was soon so seasick I wanted to die. It couldn't get worse, except it did. Much, much worse. I'd picked up an horrific bout of food-poisoning from the tuna which kicked in while I was already contemplating throwing mnyself to the mercy of the waves. For two days solid I shat, puked and shivered non-stop on the floor of the tiny toilet (or 'head' as we seafarers refer to them). Think you've ever felt ill? Try having food poisoning while you're already seasick and then get back to me.

It's vindictive, purposeless trolling like this that is killing QOTW.
