Then it gets worse..

You are afraid you are not going to die… and you wish that you could…

Then you need to have a pee……..

I believe that during the D-Day preparations in 1943/4 the Septics tested various remedies on soldiers.

Little came of it as after six days no one was sick any more.

I think I read that in one of Tom Cunliffe's cruising books.

As a student I was a regular commuter across the Channel (six times a year) and discovered that sleeping is a cure.
One night I woke up, felt sick instantly, and put my head down on the pillow to go back to sleep. It worked.

Was that a Septic think tank?

It is also helpful to remove the cummerbund....

And, mentioning 'sitting under trees', I've always wondered about the purpose/significance of that little orange tree on Kevin Costner's trimaran in 'Waterworld'.....

To show another KC film has been Tango'd???

Possibly as much the putting the head down as the sleep. Best thing to do with anyone who's seasick is to get them lying down flat in the middle of the boat (in something warm). Also good to make them eat something as soon as they lie down, that way the stomach has a chance to digest it before they get up & sick again.

To those still insisting seasickness is all in the mind - more than 70% of the offshore racers I know get sick at least every now & then, & some more like every time, these are not a bunch of weakminded hypocondriacs. If you have the great good fortune never to get sick then count your blessings at least once a day & have a bit of sympathy for the rest of us who do!
