If you start to feel seasick, what is generally the most helpful thing to do?

A. Go below deck and lie down in an enclosed cabin, away from fresh air

B. Stay on deck if possible, look at the horizon rather than close-up tasks or reading, keep warm, and let the skipper or another crew member know how you're feeling early rather than waiting until it gets worse

C. Avoid mentioning it to anyone else on board, since seasickness is not something crew should discuss

D. Eating a large meal immediately usually resolves early seasickness symptoms

A. Port and starboard change depending on which way the boat is facing

B. Port is the left-hand side and starboard is the right-hand side of the boat, when facing forward (toward the bow) — these terms are fixed to the boat itself, not to the direction you happen to be looking

C. Port refers to the front of the boat and starboard refers to the back

D. These terms are only used on larger commercial vessels, never on small craft

A. Always move as quickly as possible regardless of conditions

B. Keep one hand for yourself and one for the boat — maintain a secure handhold wherever practical, and move deliberately rather than rushing, especially in any kind of sea state

C. It doesn't matter how you move around, as long as you get where you need to be

D. Only the skipper needs to think about safe movement around the boat
