The Med can be a little choppy sometimes. We did some cruising in the North Sea once that was pretty rough. The Atlantic is the Atlantic, drive around the hurricanes.
I've seen the saltiest of dogs get sick in the Atlantic. The difference between them and an young seamen was the way they handled it. Out onto the flying bridge, feed the fish and immediately back to work. My heroes.

There are a lot of sailors that suffer with sea sickness...they do give out seasickness injections for those who have it but that causes other problems...and doesn't always work very well.
I'll ask my baby girl about this. She got sea sick a few times, but just pushed through it and did her job. She was talking this week about how she got the best sleep she's ever had when she finished her shift and hit the rack. Working 7/12's for months on end will wear you out. She said the hum of the ship lulled her right to sleep.

Never been seasick a day in my life. I’m a born mariner.

That's unfortunate indeed, but it doesn't change that conditions can still be normal onboard the ship.
