As a former commercial fisherman, I can.  A seaman's workplace has a floor
that moves up, down, sideways, rolls and pitches all at the same time; the
body acclimates itself to that and compensates to a degree that, after a
few hours or days it becomes "normal" and one can nearly predict
the movement and act, not react, accordingly.  xxcarol, referenced above,
is in the Navy and has spent the last 6 months at sea and she, like so many
others that work on the w2ater, is having a very hard time standing on firm
ground.  I've seen grouper fishermen get off the boat after 3 weeks at sea
and nearly fall down on the dock because it didn't move..
