The only time I ever got sea sick was after a 30 hour shift preparing to get underway followed by 4 hours of sleep and then a 4 hour wheel watch.
We were in the trough and no matter how many saltines I ate I just couldn't feel right in the gut. Everytime we crested a swell the whole ship shuddered. it was completely destabalizing.
I didn't throw up, but I wished I could have.
I can take anything if I can see the horizon, or even just the waves. It is inside, looking at nothing but bulkheads, that I cannot handle. I spent a GQ drill with a trashcan between my legs. It was amazing walking from the berthing area to my workspace, going from seasickness to no problems instantly, then back to seasickness almost as fast. I still do not understand how people are seasick on deck, not to mention my friend who gets seasick on a bridge.
