The cadet is still feeling queasy on deck. What else can help, beyond fresh air and the horizon?

A. Tell them to sit completely still and do nothing at all, with no distractions

B. Ask them to go and check something below decks to take their mind off it

C. Giving them a simple task at the helm or holding a line can genuinely help — actively steering or focusing on a task, while looking outward, distracts the mind and can reduce the feeling of sickness for some people

D. Give them strong-smelling food to eat immediately

A. Tell them to read a book to distract themselves from the feeling

B. Send them below decks immediately to lie down out of the wind

C. Ignore it completely since seasickness is not a real problem worth addressing

D. This is likely the early stage of seasickness. Get them into fresh air on deck (not down below where it is worse), looking at the horizon rather than close-up objects like a phone or book, and reassure them calmly that it is common and manageable

A. Leave them completely alone with no support while they are sick

B. Tell them off for being sick on the boat

C. Force them to eat something immediately afterwards regardless of how they feel

D. Make sure they are clipped on or held securely while leaning over the side (never let anyone vomit over the leeward, downwind side, as it will blow back — use the windward or stern area carefully); reassure them that being sick often makes people feel better afterwards, not worse
