I will add my name to this long list of those experiencing vertigo.  My worse case 
came in chop and 3 foot swells and I think was a form of seasickness. I was always 
carsick as a kid.   So apparently it can have several causes- i imagine a head cold or 
a case of flu might even make it worse.  It is very unerving to lose your sense of 
balance and ability to sense whether to brace or not.  Luckily I got back to shore in 
about 10 min I don't know what would have happened if that would have been a long 
crossing-- I was alone as well.
