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 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.

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

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 can begin to feel queasy after as little as 30 seconds below.

Holy sweet jesus.

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.
