PS - on reading this over, I do remember that the first time we went
down the ICW I was nauseated every morning to the point of not being
able to stomach much breakfast. I said it was like morning sickness
except that I knew I wasn't pg. Later I figured it was tension
nausea. I didn't have that problem much on the later trips.
