Was there some kind of 'psychic' link established between the wearer & the element? If there was then Galadriel's latent desire for the Sea would have been awakened by her possession & use of Nenya.
I too, have wondered about this. I am convinced of the link between the 'Three' and the elements that they represent. I don't see how someone, with such a deep love of language as Tolkien, would have named the rings as he did, without there being a direct link.

There is another connection between Galadriel and water. She uses water from her stream in Lorien in order to 'see'. Ulmo is Lord of the Seas, but his power is in all water; rivers, streams, including Galadriel's stream. Were not the Themes of Illuvatar heard strongly in the sea? Perhaps this is also part of the 'sea-longing', the need to be closer to the creator?

Forgive my ramblings, I haven't got it all worked out in my head yet. I'm just sure that there's a connection.
