Taking on sea sickness

I generally hate boats and not because they always seem like unneeded
status symbols. What I hate about them is that I get onto one and I
almost immediately feel like I am going to puke. Generally I get over
that at some point in the ride but the first second are a bit dicey
that is unless it's stormy outside and then it's a miserable two or
three hours for everybody
But what is worse is that I get seasick on the docks if there is any
kind of movement which considering I take the ferry to work is not the
best combination. But I am not willing to take Dramamine before going
to work so instead usually just puke on my neighbors shoes when he
isn't looking
