I've heard about that sea sickness cure before, but not for a long long time.
I used to like being out in force 4 and even up to force 5 winds and sea state in a sailing vessel. I regard that mild storm sea state condition as being ideal for sail.
I agree. Given that a Force 8 is a full gale and a Force 12 is a hurricane, a Force 4 is relatively benign. Nonetheless, there was spray coming over the bow which a few passengers found disconcerting :hihi:
That was the ship where I manned the helm later in the cruise. No force 4 winds though, lol.
