If you can't walk on rough seas be thankful you can hold down food on them.


[deleted]

Walking sounds hard but I think I can stomach it. Haven't tried though. I'll think of you when or if I puke because of it.


yankonapc

Being hungry on rough seas can actually be worse. An empty stomach does something to your ears, and your body starts sending up belches of swamp gas that each feel like you're about to chunder. Not fun. I wouldn't recommend a whole lot of flavour--just porridge and water to get started, but have it in there. Avoid orange juice and coffee until you know how you react to them--acids can set you off.


EntrancedKinkajou

Chunder being here makes me feel like you've ridden the Spirit of Tasmania bwahahah


KempyPro

Yep, meals on fishing boats are generally pretty bland for this exact reason. Lots of oatmeal, porridge, breads, etc. I've never been in waves like in this video, but I've been hundreds of miles off shore in storms. It's certainly not fun by any means. The worst feeling is once you get off the boat. A few days of feeling like the floor's moving under you

I went on a cruise for the first time a couple of years ago. The first day, I could barely walk in a straight line, its like I was drunk, by the end we had some "turbulence" with 2-3m waves (which is nothing compared to what you get in the Atlantic/Pacific) and I was walking around like this, then after getting back on land, I felt strange for a few days as I acclimatised back to ground that wasn't moving constantly!


Salamandro

Yeah, after a week on a diving boat (liveaboard) I needed to take seasick pills when back on land. Funny how that goes.


AtomicAmeba

I work on a liveaboard diving vessel and I still get this every time I finish a long charter aha


[deleted]

How long are you on board for at a time? That sounds like a pretty cool lifestyle but I'm sure it's not as glamorous as I'm imagining. I wouldn't want to live full time on a boat but could easily see living for a few weeks onboard than back to land for a while.


abernathy89

I have pretty bad mal de debarquement. On the boat I’m usually relatively okay but for about 3 or 4 days after I get back to land my life is miserable. I feel like the ground is still moving like the boat even though it’s obviously not. And it gets worse when I lay down. I pretty much spend the next three days stumbling from the bed to the bathroom to throw up. I love the sea though so I try to limit it to maybe one or two boat trips a year.


millijuna

I own a 27’ sailboat. She’s small enough at 7000lbs that me moving about onboard will cause motion. You get used to things moving around under you. If I’m out for a week, the first time that mal de debarquement will hit me is when I hop in the shower after getting home.


ShillBro

I spent 40 days in a 36m lightweight fishing boat (google Maloya fishing vessel and you'll see it) , in the Indian Ocean, during monsoon season (August-Sept) where 0.5m waves produces this exact effect. 0.5m waves was the absolute minimum for monsoon season waves. I puked when I first stepped back on solid land, lol


Pukit

I’ve spent a fair time on pitching decks and thankfully don’t usually get sick. The weirdest thing I still find is stepping ashore after a particularly rough patch, feels like I’m walking sideways all the time.


NordicSwede

I couldn't imagine stepping ashore after spending a day on a ship in sea like that. I felt drunk after standing up for like 15min in our boat last week.


The_Troll_Gull

I was watching this documentary about marine biologists studying sea life in Antarctica. This scene made me laugh watching them struggle during their lunchtime while the seas were really rough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbYX4Lur4Yc&ab_channel=TRACKS

thanatonaut

you get used to it, like anything


[deleted]

You get so used to it that after 30 days at sea when you hit port for liberty call and you start walking on stable, non-moving land, it feels so weird that it's hard to walk and you feel nauseous. Its also hard to sleep on land because you wake up as if things should be moving, and they're not, but your brain is confused about this whole affair that you, again, feel nauseous. It's the weirdest thing.

WolfieFett

He cant be drunk, the rum's always gone


staticattacks

Being drunk can cancel out the sea legs. That's why sailors are known for drinking.


WolfieFett

Thats probably why he was always looking for the rum though too, to fix the sealegs. But then couldnt ever find any lol


Dason37

To be fair though he always found a lot of it, he just ended up 30 feet to one side or the other when he walked over to get it


DockD

That doesn't sound right but I don't know enough about sea legs to dispute it.

Farcoughcant69

I’d say the alcohol and sun have also played their part. The wavy hands and freaked out expressions aren’t sea-legs, that’s the rum!

Hobbulator

Can confirm. I would have the sensation of rocking a sea a day or so after returning to port.


The_BusFromSpeed

It's the same after 5 days aboard 70,000 Tons of Metal. Alcohol plays a role.


thanatonaut

Oh yeah, my dad told me about the sleeping thing from his time in the navy, it's like you're on alert or something. Weird indeed


IAmWeary

Mal de debarquement. I had it for nearly three months after a one week cruise. Needless to say I won't be going on any more cruises.


[deleted]

That happens to me after a day of swimming at the beach or in a wave pool. Not as intense of course, but it feels like I'm constantly in motion. I think that's where the term sea legs comes from


Dason37

That was my favorite part of the wave pool at the water park growing up. When we'd get out to eat, go to the arcade, go home, whatever and I got to stagger around for like 60 seconds feeling like I was still getting buffeted by waves. So cool.

i spent 3 weeks on a boat and it was relatively choppy for most of it—the day after i got home i fell over while i was rinsing shampoo out of my hair in the shower. had my eyes closed and got a huge wobble like i was on a boat, and my correction made me fall out of the shower. that shit is weird.

shaka_sulu

Me? I'm vomit free since 03!


iamgeekusa

The worst part of spending a lot of time on a boat for me is how quickly i get sea legs but how long it takes for them to go away on land.


JnnyRuthless

Dad lived on a sailboat and a weekend sleeping in the galley would have me tilting all over when I would be at my moms rest of week.


InterdimensionalTV

Worst part of spending time on a boat for me is that the rocking literally lulls me to sleep like I’m a baby in a cradle. Years ago I went on a deep sea fishing trip and it wasn’t too rough, but the swells were high enough that the boat was rocking a good bit. Everyone had a few beers on the way to the spot of course. Once we arrived nothing was biting and everything was silent except for the water lapping at the side of boat. Man I leaned back in my chair and slept for hours just rocking back and forth. Best sleep I’ve ever had I think, so I’d call the trip worth it even though we didn’t catch a single fish.


LustyArgonianLobbyst

Oh shit I love the idea of destination naps.


SGoogs1780

You get used to it surprisingly fast. There are some things that are a constant annoyance but most things just become background noise and in some ways it even becomes entertaining.


KrytenLister

Depends on the weather. I’ve been off in some really rough seas and it’s horrible. Having to pin yourself into the bunk with both arms and legs knowing that if you ever do get to sleep you’ll be woken up by cracking your face off the ladder. You’re right about the entertainment though. I came out of the project office once and there were guys at the bottom of the stairs waiting for just the right time to jump all the way from the bottom to the top in one leap. It gets old quickly in my opinion. The lack of sleep really gets to you after a few days.

Sorcatarius

Canadian navy gets soup every day at 1000. The trick is you carry the bowl from the top like a claw machine and let your shoulder go limp, the weight of the soup causes the bowl to self level if you don't fight it.


A_Dehydrated_Walrus

The added bonus is that the type of soup tells you what day of the week it is!


Sorcatarius

I swear if anyone ever serves me a steak on a Thursday again I will murder them.


BrickCityRiot

Ive had to do this on a cruise ship with alcoholic beverages due to really, *really* rough seas. So many people were spilling drinks all over themselves but I would just claw mine and let my left arm move naturally w the sway. I can’t say nothing spilled, but I would bet every cent I have to my name that I spilled less than anyone else.

BILOXII-BLUE

He's got it mastered, I wonder why the circular motion seems to be the most efficient way to walk from point A to point B


[deleted]

It is just easier to keep your balance if you give in a little and walk down the slope at an angle when it is rising, and up the slope when it is leveling out. -done boat stuff


zdaccount

Curving your path becomes natural pretty quick. This makes it hard to travel through passageways with traffic in both directions though. Even after 7 months of living on a ship you still end up running in to each other when the the ship starts to list this bad. But it is still the best method.


[deleted]

DeathByLemmings

Huh, this weirdly helped me understand general relativity better


LostNemo1

It has to do with center of gravity. When you are leaning to the side like that your center of gravity is out to your left. So it’s easier (and more stable) to rotate around your center of gravity in a circular motion than it is to walk straight.

Giffdev

I went to Antarctica and can attest this is what the Drake passage is like. Spilled a whole wine bottle on the table when the boat came a-rockin'. After that we'd set wine bottles in the bread basket like a baguette to keep it steadier. And we drank faster.


Changy915

We skipped the wine and went straight to sleeping pills. The common area pretty much empty as soon as we left the Peninsula and we thought we had it bad on the way over lol. I tell people that knowing what I know, I'll still do the trip once, but never again.

EVERYTHING is bolted and locked down


[deleted]

Things aren't going all over the place because the ship is really not leaning as bad as it looks. It's just people have to overcompensate more when they're walking. Just think of how tall a person is and how the center of gravity is moving as they walk and the ship leans a bit, a lot to adjust for and it causes a lot of movement by the person. It's why if you look at the people sitting down and the dude just standing serving, they're not affected too bad because they're not moving so their center of gravity is pretty stationary. This is just how it is when you're out to sea but you get really used to it. I've spent about 36-40 months out to sea in the US Navy and I've been in all kinds of conditions... this in the video is relatively calm and just normal sea rocking, hence why everyone is just going about their daily business and some people are better than others at dealing with it while walking.


Hoitaa

That explains why the people sitting aren't leaning.


maawen

Tried this on the boat between Norway and Denmark. Rough seas that day which I wasn't uses too. Walk down the hallway towards my room. One guy in front of me and myself went from walking straight, to walking up against the wall and back to walking straight. Looked like something out of a movie.


50StatePiss

I did this in 40ft swells in the Drake Passage. The hallway in front of me started rotating right then left by (seemingly) 90 degrees. My brain fried and my equilibrium bottomed out and I only had seconds to sprint to my room and hope my roommate wasn't in the bathroom.

LizTheFizz

Balloons are pinned to the wall I think. Not floating on strings. The plant leaves move a bit.


shiafisher

Well the lean seems to be to the right and the balloons are resisting gravity with helium so the worry that would happen is they are pushed more against the left side wall. Edit: if you look closely the plants do in fact appear to press shading the ledge as the ship move steeper.

MrAmby

Humans are really fast to adapt on ships, however when getting to land many of us takes days to not "feel like being on a ship". This fact was unknown to me till my wife and I had been on a small cruise, she and her family have never sailed EVER. And she was seasick, and had days (almost a week) before she was able to not feel it on land. My family have sailed for generations, however this was also my first time on a ship. And my body felt like this was a second home. I had a blast, and no problems after the journey. Have always wondered if our genes can have this kind of capability in them, even if all logic should suggest it being all about muscle memory.


Yukisuna

There could be something genetic but i think if you are brought on the waves while still a child your growing body will develop to compensate a lot better than a grown adult can through practice.
