I feel I know our local conditions good enough to know when to go out
into exposed parts of local bays and harbour.
If anything I tend to err on the side of caution.
I don't enjoy long slow passages riding up over side of a swell or
wave and down the other.
Even in a larger boat I tend to get seasick if tossed around too much.
Actually, owning a small boat probably limits me from going out in
questionable circumstances that I might take a chance on in a 20
footer and regret later. Also saves me from the wife's wrath...she
wants it as calm as a mill pond. ;-)

Nothing wrong with that.

If I haven't been out on a boat for a while I can get queasy feeling
if there's a lot of rolling. I am affected more on large boats than
small ones. I don't really get sea sick and eventually it goes away
and I am fine for the rest of the season.

I'll tell you what works for a lot of people .... ginger snap cookies
.... or anything with some ginger in it.
