At some point, most people get sea-sick. The question is: when do they
get to that appropriate point. I have hit the queasy point only once,
briefly, in a Bermuda race. I got a scopal...(sp?) patch on and had no
further problems.
On my last Bermuda Race, 2002, it was very, very, lumpy and ugly at the
start. Most of us, on the boat, took some medication before the boat got
out to the lumpy start zone. Only one person, a very skilled and
experienced sailor had any real problems; that person wasn't useful for
the first 70+ hours out! But, after we finished, he was fresh as a daisy
to help bring the boat to Hamilton!
Most people are helped by ginger ale, soda crackers, or flat cola-type
sodas.
suffering from Mal-de-Mer is not a signal of lack of skill. One of the
best offshore helmsman I have ever sailed with, would get sea-sick and
no medication would prevent the problem. Any drugs that he took only
reduced the severity of the problem.

good luck. Have fun and go sailing.
