Re: [Paddlewise] Seasickness...or my Bonnie lies over the railing.

.....I must have the constitution of a goat.  I haven't yet run into the
circumstances that trigger such misery.......don't get me wrong.....I know
they're out there in a circling in a holding pattern just awaiting me.
    The only gnarly test I have had was once as a lad of 10 on an Atlantic
crossing on the Queen Mary (or Elizabeth......I forget which)....she broke a
stabilizer in a three day storm, mid-Atlantic,  (I was in a boychoir school at
the time and we were preparing an assault on Europe)....the upshot of this was
that that enormous tub was pitching and yawing like a cork, .... all the pools
were temporarily shut down, all the shops closed, all choirboys confined  below
(the cavernous) decks....however our overseers were turning splendid shades of
puce, and generally unseen for three days.......still, it was a proper British
line and tea was *still* served at 4 P.M. sharp........we had the run of the
ship!!!  Nearly all of us unfazed, we played a continual game of  army in a
most unique playground unabated.   Every now and again we'd see a purser  or
seaman reeling like a drunk and pause our play for a moment and follow him with
our eyes for a few moments.....wondering......'what's his problem?'
