I think it may be a combination of both Judy. I thought it was pretty much a
known fact that taking the helm helps.

Eric,
You have provided me with an epiphany! As I said in an earlier post, I
suffered from seasickness for years. Just walking on a stationary dock
would make me sick from feeling the swells of water pressing against the
pylons. Only thing that helped was Scopalamine or Scopace (which is no
longer available). Finally, about 5 years ago I started driving the boat &
have never been seasick again. So I always attributed the lack of
seasickness as being due to handling the helm.
But, at that same time, we also started arriving at our boat one evening and
spending the first night and half the next day at the dock. Prior to that
time, we always left the dock immediately upon boarding.
Based on your experience, it is likely that it was the time spent overnight
at the dock that cured my seasickness rather than just handling the helm.
Excellent suggestion.
Judy

So, what I'm suggesting is that, if possible, try to spend a few
days at the dock before going out and see if that helps. If so, you
can be pretty sure that when you do go out, you will eventually get
those sea legs, even if it take a few days. BTW, it's not unusual
for a submariner to get sick when he's on the surface.
