The boat rocketed gently. The wind died completely and all our efforts to catch the remains of it into our sails were pointless. We had to turn the engine on in order to make any progress. The sea was flat like a lake but still beautifully coloured. You could almost see the sky and few white clouds reflecting on the surface.

This might sounds at least “crazy” but when dealing with a seasickness I consider myself lucky. In case you wonder, yes, I do get seasick and I always end up throwing up, not looking pretty at all. Something what I would compare to a big chunk of pumice stone is slowly growing inside my belly as soon as we leave the shore and the sea starts to swing the boat. Then I know what is coming.
