Just remembered another...
Not me, someone I know.....

I've never been sea-sick. Come close, diesel in a confined space in very unpleasant, but true sea-sickness? No, thankfully. But I'm told that it is a frightfully unpleasant thing to experience. If any of you have been ill on ferries then you might have an idea.

A few years ago, a guy I work with took a couple with him as crew on an Atlantic crossing. The bloke was fine, the girl had never been to sea before, but was sure that she would be OK. Not ideal, but he was desperate.

She started feeling queasy about 3 hours into to the crossing and, apart from a few brief windows of relief, was chundering the whole way across. They were constantly trying to keep her hydrated, although I think that they did stop short of the anal hydration method (sounds like a euphemism, a genuine technique, I'm told). She pretty much would have welcomed death a couple of days in.

It takes 2 weeks.
