I've only been seasick once in my life---result of a very rich dinner the previous evening and sitting in a small cramped cabin where some old-timer was smoking a pipe.

I heaved the dinner over the rail, sat outside the rest of the ride out, and everything was fine the rest of the day. Even tho we were rolling on 6-8 foot swells at anchor on the cod grounds.

Get out of the cabin and onto the deck at all costs--even on those January cod trips. Dress warm and stand in the lee of the cabin at the stern, and the cold won't be so bad.
