I'm surprised it's been 3 days since I've visited your blog so I'd not seen that post yet. <BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry to hear about how tough it is for you to be on rolling water. I guess it's a good thing we have drugs for that--but it's unfortunate that you get sleepy as a result. Maybe having those drugs would have helped you on that cab ride!utenzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988445461413550750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10194064.post-1132420155619884752005-11-19T12:09:00.000-05:002005-11-19T12:09:00.000-05:00Oh wow.

I did not have a patch; I eventually got use to the motion - but felt like i was still on the ship for a week following the cruise. <BR/><BR/>I also relate to that taxi-cab ride.

The smell of diesel fuel got to me... And even then I didn't throw up, but I wanted to.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10194064.post-1132383254980305902005-11-19T01:54:00.000-05:002005-11-19T01:54:00.000-05:00I enjoy reading your stories.

I have tried everything, but the good things make you sleepy - like you experienced -so you cannot enjoy the trip anyways. I lie down and try to sleep on my own when I feel seasickness is after me. Father and son are absolutely seasick-free. We don't have a boat now but hubby is browsing catalogs just in case we run into lots of money so he can buy a catameran. I get sick on those too. Had wonderful vacations sailing the Danish islands when we lived in northern Germany and our son was little, though.I could post that too, except I don't have a fine memory like you do!

So when I was invited onto a fishing boat on Lake Erie, I eagerly accepted.<BR/><BR/>I figured I didn't need Gravol or anything because, hey, I was a water baby. Lifeguard, great boater, the works. Bad move.<BR/><BR/>When we left the dock, I was fine. The powerful cruiser planed on its engines and I sat in the back and watched the wake expand behind us. With the wind in my face, I was rockin'.<BR/><BR/>Then we reached the fishing grounds and slowed down to idle so we could troll for fish. The boat started rocking - Lake Erie swells are really unpredictable because it's such a shallow and large body of water. Between that and the exhaust, I turned green faster than you could say "go fish".<BR/><BR/>I ended up hurling over the side multiple times. In between, I sat leaning against a bulkhead, and ended up with a severe sunburn on one side of my face. I looked like Two-Face from Batman.<BR/><BR/>My ever-empathetic colleagues loved it when I "chummed" over the side, because they said every time I did, it attracted fish and they caught something. I became their good luck charm that day.<BR/><BR/>Haven't been back on the lake since.carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10194064.post-1132374753106836132005-11-18T23:32:00.001-05:002005-11-18T23:32:00.001-05:00Hi There Kenju...LOL..Guess what!
