I'd show this to my pop, but he'd just laugh at me that it was calm enough for frosty drinks on the deck. 50ft swells in a Navy Destroyer is more of a rollercoaster apparently.

The seas were actually fairly calm, it was a fatty cruise and they were doing the Electric Slide.

That's nothing. When you negative-g yourself into a deck-head, then let me know.

Vomitorium.
It's all relative though. My father told me this story about being in Vietnam on a destroyer and they were getting some huge swells, so bad that the boat was going almost straight up and straight down. A crewman from their boat got stuck on the carrier in their group when this storm came up. He was watching the destroyer just getting pummeled, meanwhile the carrier was sort of lazily rocking about. He goes down into the ship and all the guys on the carrier are getting sick meanwhile he's enjoying a nice hearty meal. |

"That looks swell!" [/sailing joke] Wow, looks like fun. I hope this wasn't actually during a cruise as a lot of fat bastard Americans would get hurt and very seasick there, but it's not that bad if you're used to the ocean. |

I've been out in 60 knots and 20' seas in a 60' sailboat, it wasn't horrible, but it was enough to know I don't want to be out in more than that if I can help it.... I have a healthy respect for the ocean, that's for sure. Ben |

Now, if you've been on big boats on the ocean all of your life, then maybe you'd be ok. I've never been sea sick, but then again I've never hit that rough of water on such a large ship. The average person who I'd consider familiar with rough ocean would've never experienced it on such a large scale as a cruise ship. |

My uncle recently retired from the Navy after putting in 25. I remember him telling me about being on a frigate in the early 90s in the Pacific during a typhoon. He said it was the worst he'd ever seen. Despite knowing the ships and how capable they were he said he really thought the ship was going to sink.

It's all what your brain is thinking... Basically all motion sickness is all from something similar. You're in a situation where you're sitting down (usually) and everything looks like it's a house to you brain. IE there is a table/chair whatever that you see. It's holding still. You're holding still. Your back is in a chair, your ass is in a chair, your feet are on the ground... But your brain is like "HOLEY ****, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE???? HE'S BEEN DRINKING AGAIN?!?!?" and that's how you get sick. Different people get sick at different points, but everyone can get sick to some extent. The basic ways to prevent it are to keep the mental aspects as limited as you can. IE don't sit where you're in a room with no view. Try not so sit at all if you can. Keep as much of your body moving with the motion as you can. Look out at the horizon as then you brain will know a bit more of what's going on. Try to get "fresh air" and see if that all helps. I'm lucky enough I have a pretty good stomach at sea. I've not gotten sick yet, but I've been close when I watched someone else get sick.... I learned all of the above in a safety at seas seminar before a Bermuda race... Before that I thought it was all just "wimps" that got sick, but it's not.... Some people have a better tolerance, and some people can force themselves mentally past normal conditions, but everyone gets motion sickness to some extent. Quote:

I agree with everything you're saying, but I think that the average ocean going person, who doesn't get sea sick, would puke their ****ing guts out in oceans like that. There are 3 kinds of people. People who get seasick, people who don't get seasick in rough seas, and people who get don't get seasick. Of course, this is just to a certain extent, but you know what I mean |
