I take it you haven't been on a boat much!  

Part of it is the rocking and rolling that makes many people 
seasick.  

The other is the ability to walk "steadily" on a yawing and 
pitching deck without getting bounced off of the boat!   

The object is to keep you torso in a steady position as the 
deck moves under you.  Some people can do it easily.  I know my 
son and daughter have the ability as do I.  OTOH, my ex simply 
got seasick!  

Many people need a day or two to acclimate to rolling deck.  That's 
known as "getting your sea-legs".  Getting rid of them is the 
reverse process.  The solid land seems to move even though it 
isn't!   

I've always enjoyed my first days of racing for the night's sleep.  
The room "rocked" me to sleep even though it was on dry land.  Many 
people don't like that feeling though.  




... I'm not seasick...I'm looking for a good spot to fish.
