There's another way to minimize the effects of the rocking motion that causes 
seasickness.
This deals with the law of physics.
Someplace, somewhere, on the boat, exists the center of gravity called the 
centroid, on the boat where there is the least amount of boat motion.
This is generally found in the center of the boat.  If those "queasy" folks 
can find that location, the spot with the least movement, it will minimize 
that rocking sensation that causes seasickness.
I knew one gentleman that did the MICA off of Panaman City several years ago. 
While returning, the engine died, and a very nasty storm blew up.
Only 2 of 12 people didn't get seasick.  The captain, and the one diver that 
found the centroid.  The centroid in this case was up two steps on a ladder.
