- Stay on the bridge. If possible, stay above decks. The closet I ever came to getting sick was during the monsoon season in the Indian Ocean. Huge seas, Perfect Storm seas: For days. 75% of the crew of the Frigate I was on were sick. Some guys were on IV's. I got my lawn chair out when I felt bad, sat against the hangar doors on the flight deck and tied myself in. Watched the horizon and instantly felt better.
- Go on a one day something trip before the ten day. The tuna boat is going to move, a bunch.

For some reason I can take it in Radar room 4, which is right above your hangar on a cruiser. Get me close to the pointy end of the ship and I was done. Instantly.
I never tried the patch but I will give that a try here when I finally go out and do some deep sea fishing. Haven't gone in awhile and am starting to get interested again.
