Sea-Sick as a DOG Sailing to San Blas Panama. SV Delos Ep. 359

In this episode we explore the nature of seasickness, and with the sea-state resembling a washing machine we have our task cut out for us. With 200 NM ahead of us we set sail at night to make our passage to the San Blas Islands. Instead of a sailing family we become a puking family and struggle to safely navigate Delos, while taking care of a sick baby, all while we feel like we're going to toss our cookies ourselves! In the end we pull it together and make landfall at sunrise in the amazing San Blas Islands!

I feel seasick just watching you. Poor Nugget, she's really a trooper.

[@archstanton9206]

11 years together. Congrats...I remember when Karin came aboard, I guess I have been here for awhile, LOL. Such a treasure of memories you are building for your daughter.

[@dano.819]

I find steering the boat manually (no autopilot) causes me to focus more on the horizon and what's going on outside my body and helps reduce the feeling of sickness and always gets me out of my "misery zone" :)

[@svdelos]

Yeah man you are right! If you can manage the mental strength to make your body perform of course :)

[@Ninja_Sloth]

This episode took me right back to when my Dad would take me, my brother and sister out on Lake Michigan when we were kids to fish in a 18ft boat in swell and chop, much like what Delos experienced. One of us would puke, then the puke chain reaction would take place, all three of us hurling for hours. My Dad on the other hand, solid as a rock. But much like you Dan O, whoever was the worst, my Dad would tell them to drive and focus on the horizon...it worked. The worst mistake was laying down and staring at something fixed in the boat, which seemed to accentuate the rocking and rolling. @17:39 Brian is doing the hurly circle...blahhhhh

[@EscapeePrisoner]

Ah the puke chain. The ongoing puking of everyone else is the only thing, so far, that can get me sea-nauseous.

[@larry_anderson]

Exactly what the crusty old Aussie who taught me to sail had me do the first time I got seasick. Worked a treat.

[@andersnilsson6625]

Take the wheel as soon as you feel that seasickness is starting to come. It helped my first wife. Do not wait until seasickness has fully subsided. Then she steered until she was so tired that she could fall asleep if it was quick to get to the bunk.

Guys, I've worked for years with a travel agency specialised in crossing the North Sea from the main land to the UK. I've heard many tips on how to avoid seasickness in those years. The one tip I still feel very confident with is blocking your inner ear. For right-handed people, you put an earplug or a pluck of cotton in your opposite ear. So stuff up your left ear. And for the left-handers, stuff your right ear. That way you trick your vestibular system. Would love you to try and confirm or bust this myth. Thanks for showing your vulnerable moment with us too 🙏🏻💜

[@claudikaufi]

I can confirm; this has always worked with the travel-sickness of our 3 boys, when driving winding roads. Greetings from Switzerland

When I was 12 my parents and sisters went to Europe for the summer. We visited my Dad's hometown in Germany by the North Sea. My parents wanted to visit a little island called Helga Land. We went by a fairly large boat, about 50 tourists and crew. The North Sea was very rough that day. All I can recall of the trip is that there was vomit every where and I was certain I would die before we hit land. The funny part was that there were only 2 people who were not sick. The captain and my Dad. They were having a laugh watching all of us suffering. Going back to the mainland was not a problem. The North Sea had calmed down. Sea sickness is no joke🤗🇨🇦

That feeling of knowing, there is no escaping those conditions for the next hours and just realizing there is not too much you can do about it really sticks with you once you experienced it. But that spot looks amazing

I lived in Maldives when I was a kid(my parents worked there) back in early 2000s. You had to be on a boat for 1-2 days on a boat to get from the airport to your Island back in the days. The smell of burnt diesel, sea and the feeling of puking out my groin... Aah childhood! R.I.P dad, passed away 7 months ago today, took me around the world and inspired me to go out into the world

Not a sailor but a single dad of 4 who has had the flu at the same time as one of the kids. I think cleaning up puke while on my knees with a bucket for me to puke in was one of the roughest 2 days of my life. Kazza you are a real trooper, Brian not to bad either!!!???

I've felt "squishy" twice. The worst was a day when most of the crew were sick and just watching them be sick made me me feel funky. As soon as we cleared the jetty coming into Galveston everyone felt better and we got to witness a partial eclipse as the sun was going down. Quite the memorable trip. LOL.

[@jmullen4658]

I have been reminiscing as i watch your voyages around the globe. , so beautiful to see you experience almost identical adventures as we did on ours... we also looked for, and much preferred, the road less traveled! Our first circumnavigation began in 1997 (52ft monohull, just the two of us) and the second was almost exactly 10 years later up to 2009. It was really fascinating to witness the differences in places like the Marquesas and San Blas. In the 90s there was no wifi or email, electronic charts were a rumour, which no one trusted 😅 so the cruising community was not as popular (= empty anchorages almost everywhere).... 10 years later, with the advent of the internet and cell phones, we noticed a distinct change in the local people, who recognized the commercial opportunities.... but generally they were still the warm open and generous people we so loved. When i bumped into all the vloggers on KZbin now, i followed as they traveled traced the eell worn milk run... but was so shocked at the number boats out there now!!! Something i love about watching you voyages is that you have made effort to seek out more remote places, less touched by modern life.... that's heartening, as i was getting a bit sad watching so many "shiny" videos of every mod con charging from place to place, hardly knowing where they are, but more interested in 'getting the shot'..... Anyway, a longer note than i planned as i fall down the lovely rabbit hole of incredible memories. I could have stayed in the San Blas for months! Loved the kuna and their precious culture... and French Polynesia, where we were able to stay over hurricane season. Far less redtape then i guess. Again the 10years difference was so interesting to see, and to see what you are encountering, another 15years from then, is almost a different world, certainly for cruising with current technology- thankfully the locals and indigenous folks are not entirely 'infected ' by our less helpful 'civilisation' (which is often mych less than 'civil'!) Signing off, re-watching your enjoyment of San Blas as you head towards the canal.... fair winds. 👌🏼🙏🏼🧘🏼‍♀️💋 xo Jan

Transderm Scop patch- greatest thing ever for motion sickness. Put on before you leave port and your good for 3 days in ANY conditions. Put a small piece of waterproof tape over the patch and you can swim and dive with out it coming off. You may get “dry mouth” but no other issues.

[@crphilipp]

Unfortunately kids can’t use patch

[@nbarbar1398]

Hi sorry to see you where all so sick! I can relate to that horrible feeling. I have left many a DNA deposit in the oceans and lakes that we have sail in. Lol. I have done childcare for over 30 years. One tip I can give you to help determine how close to the time is when your child is going to throw up is. Put you hand gently over there heart. You can feel the heart beat rise and than there mouth will start to salivate. When it starts to powered hard and fast that is when you put the buck or sink or toilet under them to throw up into. I found this works very well for infants as well. A cold compress on the back of the neck helps as well. Hope this help out in determining when Sierra is just about ready to throw up. And save you some cleaning time. I have been watching your videos every Friday for years. Thanks so much for all the work you putting into these videos through thick and thin for us to watch!!

[@svdelos]

Thanks for that, very interesting!

[@dianacarlton8660]

[@crashrecords4841]

Closing your eyes lying down blocking your dominant ear with your arm or pillow should help with motion sickness. Not fighting the motions but going with the flow of movements is also key so being tucked between pillows or such helps.

[@usandourducklings8767]

We sail as a family with four kids. I have an easy access snack area where they can get something they fancy to nibble on anytime, this consists of dried fruit, nuts, crackers, Crisps, oat cakes and cereal bars plus fresh fruit. Fizzy water also helps a lot but only a little of that and food at a time. We do use kids motion sickness tablets on the first day of a long voyage if it’s going to be an uncomfortable sea. I try and use a homeopathic motion sickness tablet first and sometimes that’s enough to take the edge off. My kids love a place to wedge into when its rough and all have their favourite place or corner. We let them stay up when they want on passage which helps as then they sleep some of the day, having shorter bouts of woken time seems to help too. I also keep a pile of towels ready to grab if all else fails. Happy sailing xxx.

Hi fellow barfers, pails are for bailing frantically, doubled up paper bags are best for used food. Use it once and toss it over the side (carefully).

Welcome to the baltic sea here it's all the time like that. Waves coming from everywhere..

[@otherside2k3]

Yeah... even a bit under the weather will make sea sickness horrible. I'm like Brian, never ever get sea sick, but once was unfortunate enough to join a research vessel in the the North Sea with 5m swells just as I was getting over the flu and man did I feel horrible. Scopolamine patches did the trick for me back then, never been seasick after that day. The bad thing about a 2-3 day passage is that this is the exact time that you need to find your sea legs, so by the time you feel better you've arrived.

[@randyadams958]

Sea sick twice. Once bouncing around upside down in diesel engine space and once in Gulf Stream. Phenergan suppositories worked well both times. Rx - probably not for 2YO's - possible side effects include hallucinations. I seem to recall hearing about a single-hander who stepped off his boat in mid-ocean after taking it. Not sure how that would have been known.

This episode made me smile. Had a similar experience off the coast of Oregon, USA. Was coming down the cost from Washington to California and ran into an issue which required us to pull into port for a fix. The bar for the Columbia was closed, and the next closest location was Tillamook. We got to the entrance and was told (Coast Guard) to heave to for a bit until they open the bar. Heave to means wait around until the let you cross the bar into the entrance. So, that is what we did. What we did not know what it would turn into an 8 hour session. So, yes, everyone eventually got seasick. I had my oldest on board at the time, who was about 8 or so. She kept track of how many times everyone puked. So you have that to look forward to.... Nothing you can do but get through it. I wish there was a magic pill, but there is not.

[@bernardlanguillier7970]

It reminds me of a short night nav we did from Martinique to Les Saintes on our charter Dufour 460 a few years ago... I was sick the whole night... total nightmare... It was also the first day of sailing in a long time, I was super jet lagged having just flown from Asia with little sleep,...

[@paanikki]

During my years of offshore racing in the Baltic, with mild tendency to seasickness, I learnt to do majority of the "below deck" things with my eyes closed (as much as possible), thus minimising the conflicting signals from the inner ears and eyes on rough conditions. In the worst conditions, I used to put the foul weather gear and life jacket on before my watch while laying in the bunk with my eyes closed, and took them off the same way after the watch. I'm sure this also spared me from a few injuries, because I avoided bumping into things while dressing/undressing in upright position in a rough weather in a relatively small yacht. I believe the main reason why average "first timers", or "land lubbers" tend to get seasick more easily than average "sailors" is because they do not realise how suddenly a mild uncomfort (something you barely notice, if at all) becomes a full-fledged seasickness. Experienced sailors are not any tougher, they just actively avoid getting seasick, knowingly or subconsciously. A fellow sailor once told me, the only thing he could do to prepare for seasickness was eating "easy to vomit" food. He had given up trying to completely avoid getting seasick.

I had nothing inside to throw up, felt like my stomach would come out instead! I was the main attraction of the island for few days. Every one was surprised I had survived. 😂 Thanks for the episode!

I have been lucky and have never experienced bad mal de mere. I find cooking very hard and have had to shout up to the cockpit, if you don't want diced carrots in your breakfast can someone relieve me. My father who taught me to sail back in the early sixties had a theory. No car driver has ever been car sick so drive the boat, we had no choice but to hand steer back then. I have just been lucky and at nearly seventy maybe I will never get it bad. I have seen just how badly it can floor crewmates though. Keep smiling😄

Hi guys - do a search on the inet on sinus and ear clearing - massage and tapping - it helps a lot with sea sickness. Do it regularly and not only when you are seasick. It has helped many other sailors. Once you have mastered it (very easy) you can regularly apply it to Nugget. Worth trying I think, espescially for the little one. Cheers

[@fatherwilliam7256]

In my experience, laying down is a mistake unless you can sleep. I try to stand in the wind somewhere I can see the horizon, but where I also have some vertical part of the boat (such as the shrouds) in my line of sight. My working theory is that by giving my brain as much feedback as possible about the motion my body is experiencing, I eventually convince it I didn't eat something poisonous; the world really is flopping around in improbable ways.

[@bubbagail7450]

That was hard to watch with all of you sick especially the little Nugget. Before Brian said y'all caught some kind of bug I figured it had to be a combination of something not just sea sickness for all of you to get it the same time. Just glad you made it ok. Happy Anniversary you two.

[@sailingelectricmermaid]

I was taught many years ago that if I kept my head touching the back rest of my seat, and my book was also touching another stable part of the car, (usually resting on my knees, which i would prop against the front seat), I could read without getting carsick, so I’ve built upon this technique. I look weird as heck with my head touching the boat at all times that I’m below deck doing something that needs doing, especially cooking like that is quite comical, but IT WORKS! When my surrounding on the boat is resembling a washing machine I also try to go for big moves below deck with my eyes closed. That is if everything is hopefully decluttered enough and it’s safe to feel my way through using basically the handles. The concept is to fool our vestibular system into thinking that we’re not being tossed around, by depriing it of its “eye clues” It makes sense that Sierra feels well enough when she’s asleep, because at that moment she is being one with the boat. Wishing you all happy tummy passages :)

[@pittwalter1801]

That reminds me of a trip on the baltic sea, where I got a hell of seasick. We had 7 bf on the beam, but an old swell or 2,5m against the wind. The feeling was like in a washing mashine. After throwing up my lunch I was saved by warm clothes, salty snacks, hot tea, taking the helm and cinacerin. Love from Germany

Was seasick for 8 hours once on a charter fishing boat off Monterey. It came on quickly and also passed quickly, I went from sick to well in like 15 minutes. It is one of the worst conditions, pure misery! I love the explanation that it's when your eyes and inner ear disagree about which way is up. The mind can't tolerate that and has to resolve it.

Y’all I almost got motion sickness watching this 😂 Seriously I went on a cruise one time and had no idea a big ship could rock like it did 😳 So after you get sick its nearly impossible to make it go away!! So all my life I have wanted to go deep sea fishing, my husband said there is no way I would ever live through it. And now I’ve been watching y’all for I don’t even know how many years now, but would love to sail now. I guess I’m getting to old for that at 54. But I just live my dreams through y’all! I can’t wait to see next weeks video. Poor baby nuggs staying sick. Man I feel y’all. It’s a terrible feeling! Safe travels.

Was a frequent passenger on small fishing boats (powered cabin cruisers) when I was young. Suffered from sea sickness for first rough week or so and then when the trip was over from land sickness. After a few years I discovered that a small amount of marsh mallows would make the vomitting experience much more tolerable and it even helped the acid burning the throat and the dry heaving. I later discovered that sucking on small black jawbreaker candies (liquorice or aniseed probably) helped a lot with the nausea but I doubt it would be a good idea for a two year old...
