Never got seasick, you just get used to heavy seas. But the cure was to never take a pleasure cruise anywhere after the Navy.

Allen,
That's about the worst any one or ship can encounter. We never came close to anything like that, thank God.
Man, you gotta be tough.
My wife and I have considered taking a cruise out of Boston up along the east coast to Canada.
In the summer.
