    Two days on a cargo ferry across one of the most infamous seas in the world: would you do it? In this episode, I pack Odyssey onto a cargo ship in Batumi, Georgia, and we sail towards Odessa in Ukraine. Marriage proposals, vodka shots, and a storm later... Well, you just have to watch it to see what happens 😉

You bring the reality of the shared kindness that is out in the world while the Media tries to get us to believe that only evil exists in certain areas! You are a blessing!

    I've found that the best cure for seasickness is being outside, in a place where you can SEE the sea.
    Motion sickness, of any kind, is usually caused by a disparity between what you can see and what you can feel.
    Staying in a cabin will only ever make it worse.
    Spent 30 years working aboard ships and I'd only ever start to feel seasick when I was concentrating on my job and ignoring my surroundings.
    Go and have walk around for 5 minutes and the feeling would subside again.
    Similar thing with carsickness.
    If you're concentrating on your phone, with the window closed, you'll get motion sickness.
    Put down the phone, open a window, look outside and you'll feel much better.

    • @sjbock
      @sjbock Před 2 lety +4

      Yes, to avoid motion sickness on a ship if you stare at the line where the water and the sky meet it can help prevent nausea. You can do this outside or sit inside and look out a window. In a car, stare at the road ahead, don't try to read a book.

    As a former sailor, though not prone to seasickness, A good thing to have handy is soda crackers. Plain is best. They give you something to have in your stomach, if you can't keep food down. If you are feeling nauseous, it gives you something to have in your stomach to prevent the dry heaves and possible internal problems.

    I loved this adventure! It reminded me of trips on passenger and cargo ferries I took on my travels back in the 1980s--principally in Greece/Turkey, and Washington State/western Canada. The look and atmosphere of that ship is sooo familiar! Back then in the olden days of slow, analog travel, no internet, just chatting and hanging out with strangers. this sort of experience was common. It's reassuring to me that it still exists somewhere out there. I was luckier than you though in that I don't get seasick! I think you would've enjoyed it far more if you'd felt better. Still, you did an admirable job adjusting your modern, millennial pace to the tempo of the 20th century! I hope you'll always enjoy the memories. And for me, I'll just add that it was really nice not to see everyone wearing masks, and to be able to forget about covid nightmare world for half an hour. Thanks so much for the video!

I was fortunate in the respect that I was in a cabin with a single bed and shower.

    Something strange happens when you travel by sea. It's almost as if you slip into a different reality, time itself seems to pass differently. It's as if you breathe in when you board the ship but don't breath out until you disembark. As the Scythian philosopher, Anacharsis said - “There are three sorts of people; those who are alive, those who are dead, and those who are at sea.”
    Hope the Landy is behaving. I'll be working on mine (almost identical to yours) this weekend.

    I felt for you suffering through seasickness because I get horribly sick on boats, ship, as a passenger in a car, etc. But I had to tell you that the motion sickness "bandaid" that goes behind your ear (it stays on and works for 3-4 days and then you can put a new one on if needed) is a total game changer! It's a prescription medicine and it is amazing! Safe Travels!

    I use to work on cruise ships. Those rough sea days were always my favorites. I'll never forget bouncing around the Med on some of those cruises. The best (or worst depending on how you see it) was when we had 12 meter waves and the captain didn't use stabilizers. We were en route to a dry-dock so there were only crew on board. It was an experience.

The captain would keep us in calm water during the day and then nose directly into the storm at night to get back on course. I felt sorry for the crew because they had endless messes to clean up including mine when I aimed for the toilet to puke but somehow missed. They were passing out sea sickness meds like free Halloween candy. Only time I've ever been sick on a boat and I spend A LOT of time out on the lake on my own 17' 7" fishing boat with the water sometimes pretty rough.
