I singlehanded a 38 ft Hans Christian sloop from Oxnard Ca @ Channel Islands Harbor to Hawaii and back in 1982. Took 17 days to get there and 25 days to get back

Wow! So you crossed that one off your bucket list early! Wonder what is still on that list!
(worked at sea, duly impressed!)

I'm very envious of you long-distance sailors! As a multi-generation flatlander, I find it exceeding difficult to stomach an undulating ocean. :)

Hope to overcome that one day, but even after a dozen attempts in the Caribbean, GOM, and off the coast of Alaska, I'm still violently afflicted.

Still looking to overcome it though. So if you know of any cure, please share it. Perhaps a few days at sea might do it, but I wouldn't want to be out of range of being able to be airlifted at whatever price. lol
