I went out fishing in the gulf stream off the coast of North Carolina back when I was in my early 20's. The charter boat canceled out the first day because the seas were too rough. They were just as rough the next day but the the Captain was losing too many clients,...getting backed up,...so we went.
6 of us on the boat. 3 of us were violently seassick before we ever got out far enough to wet a line.
I've never been motion sick before or since. But it was *rough* that day. The boat was getting thrown around so bad that you couldn't walk around without holding on to something.
Laying down was the only thing that kept the 3 of us from retching.
3 fishing,...3 layed out like corpses in the morgue.
I was glad to see land come in sight again that day.
