An intriging question for Americans.

[Minister Masket]

And others if you so wish to participate.
The question is:
How often do you see the sea?
May seem like an odd question, but it's a fairly reasonable one in my eyes.
I live right on Britain's south-east coast, about a 10 minute walk away from the beach. So I see the sea basically nearlly every day.
But America is a huge country, if you live in the centre, surely it must be a day or two's drive away...

It must seem weird if you've never seen the sea.
BTW, I'm talking about real life here, seeing it on TV doesn't count.

[Cheesemore]

I'm in Wisconsin, I've only seen the sea once, and that was on the class field trip to Washington DC

[s.xkitten]

every day...

[ritz627]

I see it often, because I live in Connecticut, but not once or twice a week. I'm also on the beach about 2 weeks of the summer when I go to Block Island.

[Serbia]

Hmm... I went to Washington D.C. too once, when I was 11, but I don't remember seeing the ocean then... So I'd have to say I've never seen the ocean. I live in Michigan, so I've seen Lakes Huron, Michigan, Superior, and Erie, (St. Clair too) but no ocean.

[unriggable]

Once a month.

[OnlyAmbrose]

I live about 20 minutes from the beach in SoCal, so I see it throughout a few times a week during the summer and probably once a month or so during school. Sunset walks on the pier make good dates.

[Risktaker17]

I live on the west side of jersey, I'm about an hour away from the shore, but I hardly ever go. I have seen the ocean numerable times though.

[Fircoal]

I live around 10 minutes away from the SF bay, but that would require me leaving my house.

[hecter]

Every so often, when I go to the East Coast (usually about twice every three years).

[AK_iceman]

What sea? You mean the ocean?

I go camping/fishing down near Homer 5 or 6 times a year, so thats how often I see it.

[wcaclimbing]

wheres the "once a year" option?

[0ojakeo0]

once a month in the winter way more often like once every wekk or two and in the summer i live on the beach for 2 weeks and i live in mass

[0ojakeo0]

Every so often, when I go to the East Coast (usually about twice every three years).

its and itriging question for americans

[dwightschrute]

well i live in the middle practically in Illinois, I am like a 5 minute walk away from Lake Michigan and i have seen both the Pacific and Atlantic Seas, multiple times.

[Nobunaga]

... First time I saw the sea was in an airplane, flying over the Pacific. It was rather unremarkable from that distance.

... Then there was my Navy days... yeah, that was cool. The Atlantic was great, and so was the Med.

... but originally from Ohio... not much chance or reason for Ohioans to see an ocean.

[wicked]

Does the seawater coming into the sound count? If so, everyday.

[pancakemix]

Barely ever. Only when I'm on vacation, and I haven't been on vacation 2003, and I didn't even see it then.

[s.xkitten]

Does the seawater coming into the sound count? If so, everyday.

i hope so, cause otherwise i never see it...

[Jenos Ridan]

Everytime I visit Seattle, Eureka down in Cali and when I'm at Astoria OR.

And I only visit maybe three times a year on average. I live near Vancouver WA, so you do the math for those three places.

[Skittles!]

I may not be American, but I see the ocean every single day. I can see the Pacific from my balcony, and I'm about 5 minutes drive away. Though, there would be some Australian's that would of never seen the Ocean.

[gimpyThewonder]

i used to see it every day when i lived up in WA. now i live in the desert. I saw the Sea of Cortez back in march and the pacific when i was in San Diego for a concert

[Pathos]

Not as often as I used to a couple years ago (when I was living in Europe), now...about a couple times a year. Going to the Pacific Ocean tomorrow "insert happy dance smiley"
