heh well meet the 3rd! I have always loved the sea and thought boats were awesome, but every time I step on one, I feel absolutely awful. I don't actually puke, because I control it, but I feel like I want to die. Only position I am comfortable in is lying down, face down. This happens mostly on smaller boats. In larger boats, it takes the ill feeling about 30 mins to set in. I am not even one of those people who talk about it beforehand. Last time I went on a boat, I hadn't even remembered my seasickness, and then when I got on it...oh boy. I was so unhappy. It's a shame because I have always wanted to have my own boat!
Do you have any advice for me, on how to overcome it? Does it mean I will have to be on a boat puking for hours/days until my body finally deals with it?
What do you do when you feel homesick? Is there a place you feel is home? Do you ever want to not be a sailor?
Have you ever had to deal with piracy in your work?

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
