It’s pretty hard to look at the horizon when you’re throwing up.

OK how does this work again?

It’s pretty hard to look at the horizon when you’re throwing up.

When I went through survival school with the USAF, they mentioned that if you were getting sea-sick on the emergency raft, to slide over the side and float in the water. Apparently that has a calming effect on you, and the sea-sickness goes away. Granted, it's considerably easier to do this over a life raft than it is a larger boat/ship.

Especially from both ends at the same time ! Lost 10 pounds in 4 hours once .

Yep and swaying when drunk aboard ship is natural. Horizon be damned

Eat ripe bannas - they taste the same the second time around - more old salt advise.

Being outside on deck is also a good way to overcome queasy feelings - focus on the sea state: watch the wind playing with the waves.
