Oh that is awful for you. We have sailed for many years and taken trips. I take all the books I have not read and go down to the Captain's quarters and read between galley times. Most of the crew we have had have gotten the maldemere and stayed topside once they got up. The hardest thing I had to encounter with them was to get them to put something in their stomaches to get over it. They would look at me, turn green and head topside to hanging over the side with the dry heaves. One of our lady crew got ill on the third day of our cruise and laid topside for three whole days. She finally put on her wrist bands and the next day was up and cheery all day without being ill any longer. All that have used the wrist bands say they work, and those I have been around that used them, they have worked for. I have never had to use anything as I don't get the maldemere, I think it has something to do with the inner ear. I have been around and on the water since I was a small child and have been out deep sea fishing where the water could get rough at times and never had any problems with sea sickness. Guess that is another blessing I have. My Dad would always put a tether rope on me to the rails so if I went over he could haul me back in. Oh, I hated having to that as none of the grownups had to wear them. I will say that when sailing and cruising out in the open sea, my husband strung a tether line from stem to stern at night, so that we would not lose anyone overboard if they had to go up to tighten the sails for adjustment or it was their turn to take the wheel. One of his rules was no one left the hatch without attaching their line to it. And all had to wear life jackets when they went topside. Got to run, taking my youngest daughter and her intended out to dinner as today is her birthday.
