Default water and bladders


One of the bladders I'm using now is 3 years old. I carry two: one for
hydration, one for survival.

Good flying,
Bullwinkle- -

I'm is the same camp as Mr. Bulwinkle, one for hydration, one for
survival, and cleanliness is next to Godliness in all water systems!

About the motion sickness, I owned larger sailboats for a long time
and found that passengers could even get over seasickness (Mal de
Mer), by staying still, either sitting or standing, and looking at the
horizon. Many studies I'm read verify that it's the conflict between
the Equilibrium/Balance sytem (the vestibular system) vs the visual
system that cause the uneasyness. Concious training of the eyes vs.
head motion will reduce/eliminate the motion sickness. Even though I'd
sailed for over 30 years on & off before taking up soaring, my first
few soaring flights of any length and violence would give me "Queasy
Stomach" until we went into interthermal flight.
All in all, I'd recomend trying to get the attention away from the
center of the thermal circle and looking out toward the horizon more.

Many thanks to Dr. Alex for his excellent discussion of the causes of
the motion sicknes and its association with toxic substance control by
the body.
