I'm very envious of you long-distance sailors! As a multi-generation flatlander, I find it exceeding difficult to stomach an undulating ocean. :)

Hope to overcome that one day, but even after a dozen attempts in the Caribbean, GOM, and off the coast of Alaska, I'm still violently afflicted.

Still looking to overcome it though. So if you know of any cure, please share it. Perhaps a few days at sea might do it, but I wouldn't want to be out of range of being able to be airlifted at whatever price. lol

The only sure cure for seasickness is getting back on flat water, and better, on land.

I’d look at houseboats and cruising on the inland waters as a viable “escape pod” option in much of the American SE.
