Thread: Sea sick......

I went to work on a Barramundi boat years back, had never spent anymore than an afternoon out on the loughs backs home. First job was to walk along the booms and untie them, while going out in a bit of chop. Never got seasick and found I have great sea legs.

Months later, I came back to Cairns and went to the store for supplies, tried to walk down an aisle in Woolies and got fierce land sickness. The whole shop started to heave from one side to the other, the aisle were swaying and I crashed into an old ladies trolley. Nearly took her out.

I was like that for days and was only steadier when I was on the rums. I finally understood why Cpt. Sparrow gets around like he does though. Started calling it "being Sparrowed" after that.

Oh yeah, any closed space, I remember trying to take showers! Feel like a dog in the boot of car.

Speaking of, being in the car after months of only being in tinnies. Missus driving at 100km was absolutely terrifying (even more than usual) when you're not used to those speeds or someone else in control of the vehicle.
I think I left claw makes in the dash of her sonata.
