The wrong things to eat for a sailing trip

[cliff]

Raw oysters are fine - nice and slippy on the way down and nice and slippy on the way back....

Dead right!!
As a breakfast on a long trip I use Be Well's freeze dried porridge with strawberries for slow energy release
Under way it is sarnies pre made plus drink loads of water plus digestive biscuits as nibbles
I am seasick on 25% of trips but have found the electronic watch has reduced this from what used to be 75% of trips
Tomorrow i am sailing to Holland & fully expect to start chucking up a few hours in to the trip
I used to feel like just slipping over the side but now it is just a necessary evil to be dealt with as sensibly as possible
Note immediately one vomits there is a short period of improvement. At this stage go below for a pee. You will soon be sick again but that is the time to get rid of an uncomfortable feeling if needs be

Update whilst i am sitting in the nsyc in ostend
Wind was on the nose 25kts so changed plan & stopped at ostend
& yes i was sick - totally incapacitated for 4 hours
Damned watch would not make proper contact on the wrist so only worked intermittently
Finally got on the helm & finished off the trip on deck
Arrived & stress took over & i collapsed into the bunk
Why the hell do i do it???
Cos i love sailing!!
