Which emotions can you feel while sailing?
Sailing is a great experience for people who love adrenaline and water. This experience can be both exciting and terrifying, also in a good way. You can feel the wind in your hair, the sound of the waves crashing against the boat, the sun on your skin, but also a sense of freedom and joy. Sailing can be relaxing, the peacefulness of being surrounded by nature, clear water and the fantastic view of mountains or houses can touch your soul.
When the wind picks up and the boat gets faster, you can feel the adrenaline and the serenity, blending positive emotions together. So you can try both adrenaline and tranquility of your trip.
Sometimes the weather can be upsetting, the wind can become stronger and the sky might darken, making you feeling scared. There is always a risk of capsizing, so the thought can make you anxious, but staying calm and not panicking will resolve the whole situation, returning to sailing calmly, feeling it as a challenge. Knowing how to stay relaxed without losing control will certainly be an excellent way to make people understand that you are responsible and will also be a satisfying test for yourself. We read about authors who talk about the sea and sailing in their poems, mixing different types of conflicting emotions together.
For example, fear is one of the most prominent sensations that we notice in the poems, the fear of the sea, especially at night and the fear of dark water. Another sensation we detected is curiosity. For example in Moby Dick, the author talked about the curiosity, that pushes sailors to venture into the sea. Other emotions described in those poems are happiness (especially about coming back to land, delineated in “Oh captain! my captain!”) and relax, as when authors describe nature, the sounds and the peacefulness they’re surrounded by, described in “the sea has many voices”.
