I have often tried to analyse Mal de Mer in a logical way and have tried all sorts of tablets and various remedies given by shipmates. Tablets work mostly, but drowsiness can be a problem. Homespun or natural remedies somewhat less successful, Dry toast and Guinness?, Ginger Nut biscuits?, tinned spaghetti?, an apple and a banana? none were very good.
I would be interested if any other shipmate suffered likewise and what was their fool proof remedy. ( Sitting under an apple tree will not be accepted).

Each time after leave when I went back on board I knew the first time there was bad weather I would be seasick. Never got over it except when on the "Lakes" as never there. I often heard the story the great admiral Lord Nelson suffered sea sickness but it was not a consolation!!!
I can emphasize with anyone suffer from this a it really is terrible.
