    Eight weeks at sea and you couldn’t adjust, Rodney?

    From sea legs to shore legs and weak stomach for each.

    Not funny! Used to happen to me after two months aboard working.

    Labyrinthitis. After boat rides, airplane rides and space rides.

    Admiral Lord Nelson suffered from seasickness. In an 1804 letter he wrote: “I am ill every time it blows hard and nothing but my enthusiastic love for the profession keeps me one hour at sea.”

    Whenever o’er the sea I sail / Going down and going up / You’ll always find me at the rail / Getting sick and throwing up.

    Shipboard passenger to a passenger at the rail. “Hi, nice day for traveling. Where you headed?” 2nd passenger, “u-u-u-r-r-r-o-p-p-p”

    I and my first daughter’s God father got back from a couple of weeks of rolling around on a Navy destroyer. We were standing side by side talking to our wives who were sitting down when my wife ordered us to sit down because they were getting seasick watching us rocking side to side like wheat in a wind.

    Sea legs can suck when you get on solid land.

    On a troopship coming back from Japan in 1953, we hit a storm. Lots of seasick soldiers, but nice short chow lines for a few days.

    Try navigating/co-driving in a rally for the first time.

    Poor Rodney…

    The only times I’ve ever really had motion sickness was while riding in a car. On those long vacation drives when I was a kid, I always had the barf bag ready & had to sit in the middle of the back seat so I could see the road ahead. Trains, boats, airplanes? No problem (unless I ended up riding backwards). But I never stopped getting carsick until after I’d been driving for several years. When I drive, the motion doesn’t seem so random.

    One thing I do notice when I travel is that after spending most of the day on the train (which I do a couple of times a year), the ground rolls under me for hours once I’ve gotten off. I don’t get sick, but it’s really annoying & I need 2 (occasionally 3) glasses of wine (ordinarily I’m one & done) to MAKE IT STOP so I can get to sleep that night!

    56 days at sea is a long time; I know the feeling.
