928frenzy is on a distinguished road
paranoid about getting seasick

It is a well know fact that drivers never get car-sick, even though their passengers may. The reason is because the driver has enough on their mind concentrating on the road ahead and how to negotiate it.

Sailing is is very much like driving on a twisty road. The helmsman is (hopefully) concentrating on the set course, other potential crossing traffic, and how to negotiate the seas ahead. When the brain is fully occupied, it has no capacity to get motion sick. ;^)
