Storms generally suck. :)


However, after spending four months riding around on the glass pond that is the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, we hit a typhoon while heading towards Australia. It was a fun, a nice change. :)

ive been out in similar sea states and belive me...its not those waves that gets you seasick.

from what i have seen its the constant medium to small waves that gets to newbs.. in the really heavy seas you are to busy.

Pitching and rolling never really bothered me... it was the heaving that I didn't like.

After awhile, sea sickness doesn't make you sick or queasy. It just makes you tired.
