Dont post much. Sea sickness well joined Navy 1980 and joined the biggest ship we had 1/9/81 HMS hermes 2/9/81 sailed for USA and mayport florida. sick has a dog for three days just spent laying in the heads wanting to die. went topside and it was like a mill pond seen more waves on barton broad. thought oh my god whats it going to be like when it gets rough. well after that didn't really bother me. Even when we went to the Falklands bloody rough down there and getting shot at. Then went on to be drafted to submarines which when on the surface corkscrew and is not nice especially when in the engine room and you see bilge water going from 1 side to the other. Beauty about being a submariner dive and evrything quietens down . if its rocking down beneath the waves it must be very lumpy up top. Have been sea sick twice since then . once on a fishing boat out of brid round flamborough but to be fair everyone was except the skipper and Bro griff and once on HMS explorer out of whitby made the mistake of going down below to make a cuppa .Was it sea sickness the 2 times not really just 1 yak and carry on.
