More About "Sick Polywog"

Afew thoughts about what is refered to as Motion Sickness or as us "ole salts" call it Sea Sickness. That is putting it very mildly because it is difficult to describe how you really feel unless you have "been there, done that" if you know what I mean. The best way I can describe it is to say "you would have to get better to die". Things are just fine untill the ship leaves the calm and serene waters and things start happening as it starts going up and down, up and down, up and down, and kinda sorta twisting also. Nothing is staying still any more. Your insides just don't know whats going on. It really started for me when I somehow managed to get to the Mess deck {chow hall] for all you landlubbers. Metal trays,forks,spoons, and food all over the place with people slipping and sliding, some down crawling, some all doubled over and kinda green and pale, lots of bad words floating through the air and just a regular "mad house". I managed to make my way down to my assigned station deep in the ships bottom where the motion is much less noticeable. i recovered somewhat and realized that I would possible survive after all. Well, more to come later. May you have fair weather and calm seas.
