Yep. Quite amazing, isn't it. In one lifetime the very ordinary has gone to being amazing or quaint, rather depending on one's point of view, to incredibly amazing. My wife's grandmother saw the first planes fly, Concorde and the first man on the moon. When that happened the tears were falling down her cheeks.
My own children have seen the raising of the Mary Rose, Rocket 150 (well, one of them), the end of Concorde and the beginning of PCs and the WWW. When I heard this guy talking about the WWW on the way in to work on the "Today" programme one morning I remember going in to the office and saying to my secretary that I'd just heard this absurd proposition that everyone in the world would be connected and all the information in the world would be freely available to everybody. My quote (and I'm reminded of it often) was "in your dreams". Mind you, he'd not considered Wikipeadia.....
As for sea fishing. That's my other great passion. Never been sick, but I've known people who've never had a problem suddenly suffer. That must be bad.
