If I remember correctly it was Nancy and Titty in PD and Susan
in WDMTGTS that were seasick.
My father worked in the cockle bawleys (I think thats the correct
spelling) in the Thames estuary; small almost flat bottomed so they
could rest upright on the mud when the tide went out and the guys went to work. I was allowed to join my father sometimes during summer holidays when the tides were right (in other words not having to get up in the middle of the night) and breakfast - of bacon and eggs in the little cabin in the forepeak was more than I could take.
What a fug!! That was the first and last time I was ever seasick.
Joining Dad over the side (while he was scratching for cockles and mussels was a kids dream though, because there was no way that you could NOT get muddy!! All washed off with a bucket of sea water when the tide came back in. Happy days!!
