I was a sailor when I was a young lad. I had a great time. All the 42 minutes I weren't seasick

I beg to differ. Running up and down the ladders from the galleys to the deck 42 times to vomit over the railings in between cooking? No thank you!

It was a nice big sail boat, 30M in length and giant sails and there was about 12 of us bobbing about on it

I've been on ferries and whale-watching boats, with no sign of seasickness.

I confess that I was urged to take dramamine on the whale watching ship.

I take something similar whenever I go flying for more than a couple of hours. The thought of sitting between strangers on a flight and vomitting into one of those small paper bags freaks me out

Please don't take this the wrong way, but the thought of sitting next to you sounds anything but attractive....

Once in a great while, I do feel nauseous on an airplane, but this has yet to be a problem for those around me. After 12 to 15 hours of flying, I'm not apt to feel especially good anyway.....
