Default seasickness and the inner ear

Funny..when I'm at the wheel..I stand with my feet apart for balance.
I seldom get seasick..or at least it is much slower developing than
when I'm sitting in the cockpit or worse...down below.
Maybe it's the combined effect of concentrating on the horizon doing
something and a sturdy stance.


Rough seas don't bother me a bit as long as I am at the helm.
If I ask someone else to give me a break, I have become queasy at times.

I have only gotten sick on a boat once, on a dry-stacked diesel
commercial fishing boat I was out on once. The fumes, combined with a
never-ending-seeking autopilot, did me in.
