What I'm not looking forward to is trying to sleep when I know that I _should_ be sleeping but the sea not letting you. Ho hum. I've been getting some inspiration from Alan Brentnall which should stand me in good stead. Something about a cork....

Thanks for the tip about Sca Fell....I've had problems finding my way off it in broad daylight in the Old Counties Tops so I've no idea how we'll manage in the dark!
I find sea sickness more prevelant on bigger boats than on a yacht or dinghy esp if it's windy as there is so much to do it takes your mind off it. Sitting around on a small ferry I get bored.

If you do get SS best to lay down and close you eyes. SS is caused by the contradictory information your brain gets from your eyes and inner ear(balance) laying down with eyes closed removes one of these senses.
