Salty air whips ruddy cheeks, biting, harsh, angry rolling waves, crash, smash against the rocks, dancing, taunting, menacing, figures of eight, lurching, pitching, pitiless, beckoning, engulfing, endless, torment, deck awash, sting of salt spray, cold, clammy, hands raw, adrenaline overload, fearful, exhilarated, clutching ropes, unforgiving, relentless.
