I was reading another group...and a long time sailor said they
still get the sickness, do any of you still get sick? after being out
for a long period of time?

I have always been prone to motion sickness of all kinds.
When I was still sailing "deep sea", for the first month, if we had any bad
weather, I'd get sick .... after that you could throw anything at me.
Nowadays I'm frequently on small boats and find the only time I'm really
bothered is when it's a dark night or possibly foggy and I have no reference
(horizon, lights, etc.) and the ride is unpredictably bouncy.
I have noticed that the older I'm getting, the less the tendency (G getting
more numb with age), but I'm also carefull where I stand and what I do.

What a wimp! What a double wimp.

One wimp for getting seasick two wimps for admitting
you get seasick. No wonder you function so poorly in
the wheelhouse. It makes it very difficult to study the
COLREGS when you get seasick just by looking down
and squinting your old eyes that are probably corrected
to 20/40 from 20/200 with eyeglasses that are fogged
up most of the time.

ROFL I know you won't understand this Neal, but the "wimp" is the one who WON'T
or CAN'T admit to getting seasick.
...... any man or woman, knows that.

Some of us don't have to admit to a malady we
don't succumb to. You seem to think everybody
gets seasick. This is not the case. Some of us
have inner ears that are secure enough to not
be fooled by a little strange motion and some
of us have brains powerful enough to discount
information that is at odds with our senses.

LOL you like reading things into statements that are neither said nor implied.

......and some of us get sick, blow lunch, and go about our business .....
course, I'll never understand how anyone could get sick, anchored in Tampa Bay
all the time.

More like your brain is too numb to realize what's going on.
