      Oh yes! I tend to be seasick as well, if the sea is a bit rough. I know of really bad cases where a leader of a research group on board was extremely seasick, but it was ok if he lay down. So he was lying in the laboratory on the floor, and was giving instructions to the people around him.
      Luckily, there are pretty good pills you can take – and after a while you usually get used to the motion of the ship.
