That weird emotional state where you feel unanchored, unsure, or just kinda... floating through life. Like, you're not drowning, but you're not exactly steering the ship either. You're just out there. In the vibes. On the emotional open sea.
That post-vacation, pre-back-to-work limbo? Boat feelings.
That 2 a.m. stare-at-the-ceiling moment? Boat feelings.
That “do I want to break up or just nap?” vibe? Boat. Feelings.
See also:
drifting • liminal space • soft existential crisis • main character in a coming-of-age indie film
Not to be confused with:
Sea sickness (though emotional nausea may apply)

Get the air boatmug. 
When a slutty girl fucks one guy at one end of the pool, and then swims to the other side to fuck another guy.
Bob and I gave that girl a Shanghai Boat Ride last night...I wouldn't go swimming today if I were you!

Get the Boatmug. It means the activity of putting one's face between a woman's breasts, and rocking turning one's head rapidly from side to side while making a noise like a motorboat.

Get the motor-boatingmug. The act of taking a live crayfish and inserting it inside a women's anal cavity until either the women or the crayfish dies.
