I can't swim, which is bad if you intend to go out on the ocean in a tiny
boat.

Could be bad even if you go in a BIG boat.

That has occurred to me, which is probably why I'm unlikely to go on a cruise
(even though I've been told that the best cruises are quite nice).

"She can stay afloat with the first four compartments flooded, but not
five--not five."

Swimming is something you could learn with little trouble Anthony. Not
much cost involved I would think. I'm a lousy swimmer myself, but can
get along well enough not to drown.
For cruises, I pay very close attention to the life boat drill :-))

Tried several times, failed. Almost drowned on several occasions. I just
avoid water now.

On overseas flights I scrutinize the waves below and try to remain hopeful.

You can't do anything. You are just a life failure who plays with little
boys.

The size of the boat doesn't matter much and that's why life jackets
were invented and are mandated to be worn on most pleasure boats in
most areas.

It is not terribly surprising you are also afraid of boats.
