My Worst Case of Sunburn

This happened on a deep sea (I think we were a mile or so offshore) fishing outing.  It was a good plan but the first time I was that far away from shore in a boat.  I had my first (and last) bout with sea sickness.  Most everybody who were in the same shape was below deck.  Not sure why I was laying on my back topside the whole time.  I don’t even remember if I had put any suntan lotion on.  After 4 hours, they headed to shore.  Later that night, I saw that my forehead had swelled up like a melon and was seeping, pus I think, in several places.  I was pretty much red as a beet in my whole face.  I remember just using aloe vera on it and probably used a generous bit about every 15-30 minutes, especially when it started itching.  I was like this for several days but when it was better, I sure had a deep tan.
