Broads01 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Away from the Broads I'm prone to motion sickness and cross-channel ferries can be an issue. On the Broads though I don't have an issue, even on a choppy Breydon. I can only remember feeling queasy once at that was whilst moored at Berney Arms on a windy, choppy day. It was a daytime stop and I remember getting on my way not long after stopping because I decided I'd be better off on the move. I continued on the Yare and enjoyed the waves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least she only suffered when leaving the boat. Unlike a lot of us that suffer the same when we leave a hostelry. .

Hylander Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Funny that but I recall after being on a hire boat for 2 weeks and not really getting off it much , when I got back and was in the office I could feel movement and I was sitting at my desk. Strange. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Back in my Cuzzie days a colleague was confined to desk duties as he used to hurl even on a 400-odd foot box boat securely moored to a concrete quay. It was recognised by the department as a valid disability so reasonable measures were taken to keep him on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange. I don't know what this is called but I think it's something that you simply get used to. I distinctly remember it on my first experience on a Ship in The Educational Cruise Ship ss Uganda when I went on her as a schoolboy in the mid 70's a very strange sensation when stepping ashore in Northern Spain after leaving Tilbury a few days earlier 😳 . I think it happened at subsequent ports of call but can't remember. I think it happened again on my first trip to sea in the late 70's as we had crossed from my joining port Copenhagen to Grangemouth in Scotland but I don't ever remember it since. But then I am one of those fortunate people that have never suffered from any form of motion sickness 😁👍😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingFortress Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 What I do still find strange is after being on the boat for any length of time doing a maximum of 6mph driving on to generally the A149 and thinking gosh this is fast even when doing no where near the 50mph speed limit 😳 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont need confusing at our age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
