How long is a "long period of time?" Most people will adapt after less
than 48 hours, but I have known a few people who would be quite seasick
after a week at sea.

When conditions are bouncy. it makes me slightly queasy to be enclosed
in a small cabin trying to navigate or make some tedious repair, but
that's a fairly common effect AFAIK. Fresh air, a view of the horizon,
and taking an active role, are almost universal cures. Ginger is said to
help, we always keep a stock of ginger ale on board.

Question?
 

I never get seasick. The reason is because I live aboard.
The motion of my boat has become second nature to me
and my cat who also never becomes seasick.

The only cure for seasickness is to become immune to
it. The only way to become immune to it is to eat, drink,
awaken to, go to sleep to, work to, study to, internet to
and crap to sailing and the only way to that is to live aboard
and sail around. Living aboard at a dock does not count. One
must sail around and anchor or moor out where there is
motion to be had even when not underway.

I hope this helps.

Length of time doesn't seem to be a factor for me, but a very hot day
with little breeze and a glassy water surface are sometimes trouble.

Best thing to avoid seasickness is to reef. It fixes everything!

Question?
 

Sure. It happens, but rarely. Used to be years ago I'd be teaching
a class, have to do something relatively strenuous and get overheated.
Then, I'd get a big quesy. Now, I don't seem to be affected in the bay.
Also, I used to get fairly nauseous outside the Gate... e.g., to the
Farallons and back (through the potato patch). After a 1000 mile
trip down the coast to Cabo, that pretty much stopped that when I
go offshore. I think a large part of it is knowing what to expect and
how your body reacts to the conditions. I don't think anyone gets
past it completely, but you can deal. As others have said, active
participation makes a huge difference.

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.

of us have brains powerful enough to discount
information that is at odds with our senses.

No. Onl;y time I ever get nauseous is if I have a migraine coming on, which

Motion sickness, or sea sickness, is most often caused by inner ear
disturbances and your sense of balance. If you lose a focal point, you may
become ill. That is why being at the tiller or wheel helps...you regain
focus. Take a light, non-drowsy antihistamine the first couple of times you
go out and see how things go. If you still get woozy, then try a scop
patch...dramamine tends to make people really sleepy, which isn't really the
answer to the problem. Also, do not eat anything you do not want to taste a
second time around before you sail if you know you're a puker.

Question?
 

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.

Great with chopped up bacon (pre-cooked).

That's overdone scrambled egg. The proper stuff is more creamy than rubbery.
Melt butter in pan, whisk eggs with a little milk and add to pan. Stir
constantly with a wooden spoon until consistency is smooth. Some grated
cheddar through the mix is lovely.
