I can't class it as "terrified" but I get very uncomfortable with open water. I know a number of people that get sick when they pump up the barber chair, but I'm not one of those. Open water is what makes me uneasy now and that's not right for someone who lives on the shore of the Great Lakes. I don't like flying over it and sure don't enjoy "boating" on anything but a river. What is odd is I swim well, was a certified scuba diver at one point, did white-water canoeing for many years. I just know now I couldn't swim any distance today.
