Lets hear your dreadful seasickness story! Have you been seasick?

No, but this one time when i was 12 years old and we were in Switzerland for holiday, we drove up this mountain/hill thing, but there were something like 360 turns on the way to the top – i felt pretty nauseous after a while.

I had that happen on the hairpin turns of the smoky mountains. It was a Picnic compared with being seasick.

Ew….

My family went to a resort in Mexico when I was 18. It was the first time I could drink legally, and I just may have over-done it a bit a lot at a club the night before a whole-family scuba trip.
We took a boat ride out to the scuba site in the morning. The water was rough, and I have a tendency towards motion sickness even when I’m not still half-drunk. I spent the whole trip leaning over the side of the boat puking my brains out. Ah, my parents were so proud.

I have had boats ever since I was a kid and am pretty used to them,but the time ours conked out in the middle of a storm is when I lost it over the side.No one noticed as they were too busy panicking ;)

Wife and i have been deepsea fishing many times off the coast of Florida. each time, she has the upchucks and i just drink another beer. she always hated me for not joining her in her time of misery. seasickness has never bothered me…....it’s Miller Time!

I’ve been lucky, great sea legs, but the old adage seems to fit with your stories: “First you’re afraid you’ll die, then you’re afraid you won’t.”

I suffered seasickness many times as a kid, much to the amusement of the rest of my family. My dad had a 28 ft boat on Lake Michigan, about two hours from our house. We’d drive up on a Friday afternoon or Saturday morning and spend the weekend on the boat. After a night sleeping in the boat while it was tied up at the pier, I’d wake up feeling sick. It didn’t take long, trolling slowly on the lake while my dad fished, for me to start “chumming the water” as he so nicely put it. It was the worst feeling ever. I’d keep puking, he’d keep fishing. After a few hours, my mom would finally make him take me back to land.

My parents tried prescription dramamine and who knows what else, but nothing ever worked. I hated going out on the boat to fish, but loved the rest of those weekends. If we took the boat out just for fun, to go swimming or (my favorite) tie an innertube to the boat so my dad could pull us around, I wouldn’t get sick at all. Just slowly bobbing over the waves, hour after hour, got me every time.

@john65pennington Now that’s funny. Hee hee

my wife and I took our first cruise on the Scotia Prince in the off season many years ago. We noticed many wearing these “odd round patches” stuck to their necks and thought at the time they were a cult of some kind. After we got under way I started to feel something strange. At first it was a little like feeling high, like a floating feeling. After an hour or so, not so much. Don’t go on a cruise in the off season.

I was on a fishing charter on Lake of the Woods between Minnesota and Ontario. With 5 foot swells hitting the 27 foot boat, I felt pretty nauseated. The combination of the Oxycontin I was taking for pain and Gravol did not help my symptoms. I enjoyed the fishing just the same.
