seasickness
Sailor's stomach trouble
Seasickness is the nausea and dizziness that can afflict people traveling on boats or ships.
It is a form of motion sickness caused by the rocking and swaying of a vessel on water.
The inner ear detects movement that doesn't match what the eyes see, creating sensory confusion that leads to symptoms ranging from mild queasiness to severe vomiting.
Some people are highly susceptible while others seem immune.
I spent the entire ferry crossing fighting seasickness.
