    Not so strange, Lisa. I would bet at least 90% of us have had the same
    experience when back on land after a few days at sea. Every person I have
    ever sailed with has had the same experience. It was worse when we first
    learned to sail, but became much less pronounced over the years.

    The first time we spent a full week on a boat without going ashore, the
    first night ashore neither my husband nor I could stand in the shower
    without bracing ourselves against the shower walls. When I laid down in
    bed, I had to keep one foot on the floor to stop the room from spinning and
    tilting -- just like a drunk. Much better now after sailing for so many
    years. Now the effect is minimal for me and is further diminished simply by
    walking as much as possible when we first reach the dock. My husband is no
    longer affected at all by "land sickness."

    I dont get sea sick, I have problems after coming off the boat, I know
    weird. I have trouble sleeping and I feel like I am still on the boat
    moving and that continues after stepping off the boat. On the boat I am
    fine and cant figure out why I have such issues after coming off the boat.
    Its like my body can handle being on the boat but hit land and it takes 24
    hours for my body to figure out that I am off the boat...lol. I know very
    strange...giggle.
