SLIDE ALERT:

Not sure what sort of repeated exposure you are referring to.::

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What I meant was the brain can eventually process the movement of the vessel, so that the person will stop becoming seasick.

It is my understanding that motion sickness results because the brain cannot process the feeling of motion while sensing that the person is standing or sitting in one place. In your example, repeated trips on that fishing vessel would find you becoming less and less disoriented.

BTW, I have read that the worst place to be with seasickness is below decks.

The absolute worst is below decks, next to the head...anywhere you can smell the head. The smell of that water does me in! (Dad to Blu: "hey, ya toss your cookies over the side, never in the head!")

Ahhh. Thanks. About the sea sickness. Not sure how eager I’d be to endure that until it went away. LOL.

Absolutely true. When you’re inside, your brain doesn’t know that’s going on, so it’s always better to get to a place where you can view to horizon.
