The channel boats are quite fast, aren't they?
Yes, very. They make the trip in about an hour.
I hope we shan't have a rough passage.
No, I hope not. I want to have a deck chair and enjoy the crossing.
That's a good idea.
The sea seems quite calm, so there will be no fear of seasickness. Are you seasick?
Yes, unfortunately. I'm very much subject to it.
I'm not a very good sailor, either. My mother is a dreadfully poor sailor. In fact, she never takes a voyage unless she has to. I am better than that, and even on the Pacific. after ten days of it, I can still find my sea legs. Well, happily we shall have a smooth passage today.
Yes, this little boat gets up a fine speed, and I think we'll soon get to the land.
Yeah, I am of the same opinion.
