I bought a 24' cabin in late fall '06 and never used it - had it winterized
for spring '07. Took a bus trip from Connecticut to the NYC boat show, with
a boating club group. I felt very weezy and almost had nausia from the bus
motions. I've never been in a small boat in waves, but wonder is bus motion
sickness similar to seasickness? In vehicles, I'm used to being the driver,
not passenger.


Might happen, but as another said, the helmsman is usually somewhat
protected. Additionally, experience usually adds some protection, as the
"unpredicted" motions can become usual and expected.

If you're at sea for a week or two straight most people will adjust and
not get sick anymore, right?

Whereas, in my youth when I used to do lots of ocean sailing, I had lots
of experience, but it was all day sailing or weekend sailing so by the
time I got back on the ocean after a few weeks on land, I'd get sick all
over again even with all the prior experience.
