Maybe getting a new job. I gave it a good try, but I can't handle the kind of jobs my current employer sends me on. I've been motion sick for the last week. I don't want to work on small boats, and certainly not in places where they experience direct channel currents.
I enjoy my coworkers and the industry rather generally, but not my current circumstances.
I used to get that real bad as a child. I think it was part of my glue protein intolerance, my diet was primarily wheat, brown rice and soy/chickpea, and of course eggs and milk.
Right now if I ate that I'd be useless for almost 24 hours, between 30min and 8 hours later, bronchoconstriction that feels what it must be like to have emphysema.
But spending so many hours on boats is not something that you just get used to overnight, many people never adapt and end up head over the side sooner or later, every time.

I've heard of people getting accustomed to it eventually. I heard one number at 90 days, which made me think it has to do with the cells in the body adapting.
i don't usually have to deal with this, though, luckily. superyachts don't case me this problem.

Well, I'm not gonna ask about the super yachts :D

looks like I got the job. Final interview went well and they said I should get the paperwork in the next day or so.
