I never get sea-sick ... but after long voyages I curiously suffer from
land-sickness. I stagger about as though drunk ... my brain (inner ear)
obviously confused after having become attuned to the rolling and pitching
of the boat. I like sailing ... but sail with a sense of dread at reaching
land again.
