But I still eyeroll over him regularly, that's part of the fun. He's genuine enough that the puppy-dog way he approaches life gives you little choice but to love him and want to pet him.

Really feel for you Dave. Being sea sick is the worst. You can't just 'push through it' or 'man-up'. The only thing you can do is hope for land, sleep or a quick death. Couple that with the guilt you feel for being a burden on the crew and it's the worst.

The best tip is still: Get up on the center deck, follow the motion of the boat, and keep your eyes on the horizon.

Funny and recognisable.😅 Reminds me of my younger years. We went boating with fathers and a friend from our favourite holiday island on the sea near here. I the boat-crazy was the only one who got seasick🤢 and hung over the railing🤮. How disappointed I was☹️, and so along with my lack of language skills, I did not become a boat pilot.❌️ But finally at the beginning of this year it all suddenly worked out and I have now been living on my bought 38ft cabin sailboat for several months and seasickness stayed away as I crossed the bumpy IJsselmeer in May.🥳

We got caught in a big storm everyone one on the boat got seasick with the exception of myself and a young woman who was also on the crew. We basically were on watch for 24hr's, and we could not go below deck because it smelt like 100-year-old boat filled with vomit.

Worked for years on charter fishing boats in the Mid-Atlantic and have seen anything and everything used for seasickness and have seen people have success and utter failure with pretty much anything. Its not common but occasionally i do get sick myself, but I found it to be a sign that my ears are getting clogged and i need to see the doc. Ive used the wristbands when i need something but many pairs have been left next to buckets that seasick passengers had been throwing up in all day so mileage does vary. The mental side is huge and if you convince yourself youre going to be seasick then you absolutely will. Eating is another part, mkre for day trips and overnights but leaving on an empty stomach is a big disadvantage.

Hi David, I can sympathize with your sea sickness. Taking Bonine and drinking Classic Coca-Cola has worked for me. It even worked after the symptoms started. No diet coke, must be Classic Coca-Cola. Why? I don't know, but it worked! Eating a green apple helps some people with sea sickness, but I've never tried it.

@@david_shih - True story: I never get seasick, but I puke as a overfed baby for anything else. But then there was that time I got stressed (wall-kind) and got the "yrsla", loosely translated to the "spinnings". I got sooo dizzy, the local callcenter (1177) send an ambulance to fetch me to the ER. A lot of tests followed, bc the "spinns" is actually a big signs of stroke or heartproblems. Not once did I puke, and that was a thing of amazement for the ER, the doc, the nurses etc, bc if you get dizzy, you puke. So, Ill never get seasick, but I will puke my guts out if I smell diesel, puke, see vomit or nr 2. Yeaahh, fun times. Love my husband, he is a TRUE saviour. /C

I raced in a long race in the Gulf of Mexico, and it was stormy and rough the whole time. After the race we were docked and a friend's boat arrived, so I helped him tie up. I asked him how the sail was and he said rough. He said that one of his guys was really sea sick the whole time and puked 28 times. We heard a noise and turned to see a guy puking off the dock. My friend turned to me and said, "29 times".

I was once in rough weather on my Chrysler 22 and stuck my head in the anchor locker to fix the bow light connection and got a little quesy. But I went back on deck and the feeling went away. That's the extent of my sea sickness experience. I spent a lot of time sailing and also working on boats in the Gulf of Mexico. I've always enjoyed rough weather on boats. It's as good or better than a carnival ride. Woohoo.@@david_shih

Seasickness is one of the nastiest things you can experience. I actually have an interesting story. Growing up I always got seasick. But three years ago I bought a sailbout and sailed it home over a four day passage where I wore those scopolamine pathes behind my ear. I had a really bad side effect from them where my lips and parts of my face totally dried out. It was really bad seas and high waves for a lot of the journey(and I'm talking about the north sea bad weather). But whatever that was that turned my lips white for four days and dried me out, it cured me for being seasick. I've never been been sick since that passage. When I get on land I get mad vertigo though, but I think that is the reason for why I never get sick.

@david_shih

wow so the extremeness of the patches cured you? That's pretty interesting, maybe i'll try a higher dose of scoplamine and see if it fixes me permenantly. but then again i never really got sick before...

​@@david_shih It's so wildly anecdoctal that it's difficult to say if it was the patches, but I felt almost like I overdosed on them and my lips were close to white coming home. The drying out was obviously a side effect. But for whatever reason, it just cured my seasickness permanently. I've never used patches or any medication since that, and I sail in the north sea where the swells are brutal. My theory is that because my psyche didn't feel nausea when "it should" have, some sort of switch got turned off where I now have vertigo coming onto land. That doesn't bother me though, I kind of enjoy it if I have the time to close my eyes and relax. It passes within a day or two. Not to make this to long either. But from a psychological perspective I think seasickness and it's reactions is inherently connected to fear. So taking meds that remove nausea could potentially "hack" your brain into a mode where one would more rationally approach

I don't take meds but for the first two days when i feel sick, I sit somewhere where I can pin my head against the boat. I can even use a laptop like that. My head needs to stay immobilized on a pillow in line with my torso. Maybe try it, seems like you have nothing to lose haha Laying down doesn't work, I have to sit up and brace my head*

Sea sickness? Try "Ribena" blackcurrant cordial ... doesn't stop you being sick, but at least it doesn't taste bad on the way up ;)

I know someone who gets sea sick just from being on a boat. She even gets sea sick when it is on the hard.

Cool

I never get seasick, but I threw up for the first 36 hours of my 2 week passage in the pacific. Something about the waves hitting the aft quarter of the boat really messed me up.
