me living such a sheltered life having heard some news decided to investigate, and I didn’t like what I found
Sunday I was meant to be on the Plymouth to Roscoff Britanny ferry but was it had been cancelled due to weather, hmmmm im not liking the sound of that so I had a look into it…

I get sea sick bad.Some say have a proper meal before getting on the ship so if you are sick you are not puking stomach acid.
Get on bunk and relax.
I can not see the Pompey ship going out if the weather is that bad.
Ships have been known to sit a mile from the port unable to get on the dock due to wind.
If take sea sick pills they make you drowsy for driving.If i was on the Ouistreham sailing i would sleep in the cab below deck.
When boarding pull the split curtain over and when nobody is looking hop on the bunk.
Being lower down prevents being ill.
A few lads on the ZB-Calais/Dover run have come serious cropper doing that. Boats & trucks falling over. I used to do it on the ZB home run to avoid all the circus upstairs but I soon packed it in after the disaster.

a few people came a cropper on deck aswell so I don’t think it matters where you travel if it goes down it goes down and best of luck…
I do not think any ferries will be crossing the channel when this mother of a storm is coming, did you see the George Clooney film, The perfect storm.He ended up a cropper.
All the container ports will shut down, operation stack at the ports, bring a book and pack the Pot Noodle.
Expect numerous accidents on all roads, trees fallling and so on, bins blown over in the streets too.
I had to buy extra strong glue for my new toupee wig, cost me £2200, so a £1 for a pot of glue is an investment in this bad weather.
We’ve all been asked to go on the train at midnight sun/mon to try and avoid all the hassle.Does anyone know how long this storm is supposed to be with us for?

Polish sailor’s saying says “eat Kisiel, easy in, easy out, both ways tastes the same”. I follow that advice when I expect such situation and it is indeed good stomach filler. Can’t confirm the bit about it tasting the same when coming back, as never needed to puke when ate this . You can have it in biggest tescos from the Polish shelves, it costs about 40p per sashet (looking like this: oetker.pl/fileadmin/content/ … relowy.jpg) it’s kind of jelly, you just pour hot water over the powder, stir it, leave it to cool down a bit and its completely acceptable to eat:
