Hah, yeah, I won't lie.... it took me over 3 years to get used to being in big seas.  Of course now I'm getting near 3k days at sea, and can handle it a little better.  Still gets me grumpy when things are really rough.  If anyone ever tells you they don't get seasick at all, they clearly haven't been in large enough seas yet

I'm at home right now, the barge got unloaded and my boat is headed to Fourchon La.  We're swapping barges there, taking a load to Rhode Island, I think they are all windfarm parts (big turbines, etc).  After that back to LA, then off to Nova Scotia to take some sorta fuel/exxon pipeline.  I dunno really, I just stay underwater and fix the spinny things

My only experience with big seas was on a cruise to South America, as we rounded Cuba heading to Brazil the seas churned up. I  saw waves rolling over the bow and up the decks,  I know that's nothing for you seamen that spend months at sea. Most of the passengers were getting shots from the ships doctor for sea-sickness (we were told they would not give them to the crew) The seas did not bother me and I skipped the shot.   I enjoyed the rough seas at night laying on my back on the bed, interesting hearing the sounds of the hull groaning and creaking and feeling the ship shuddering.  The up/down and rocking motion sort of moved me all around in my skin (not sliding on the bed). I was like a baby in a rocker, I purposely stayed up just to enjoy a once in a lifetime massage by the seas.  The Ms was lost in the ozone on the shot so she missed it.
