What do lines 7 through 11 reveal about the speaker in “Sea Fever"?

These lines tell us that the speaker longs to be on the seas and that he loves nature. He loves the ocean setting: the wind, the spray, the seagulls. The speaker also loves wandering. He compares being on the sea to being a gypsy. Gypsies were known for traveling in caravans from place to place rather than having a settled home. The lonely life of the sea doesn't bother the speaker at all because he so loves the ocean and even the harsh winds, sharp as a knife, but he does ask too for some company. He wants to be able to run into fellow seamen, especially a high-spirited one who can share cheerful stories with him. In sum, the speaker enjoys being free and unencumbered, loves the ocean, and loves to travel and hear a good story. Hope this helped!!
