Beautiful Smallie TJ! You're dressed like it was cold out or something!
n8ly, yes diesel fumes get nasty, especially if the injectors have a lot of hours on them and it's running a bit rich. I got to learn to dislike boats that drifted stern first and got to know the fleet in San Diego well enough to know what boats to stay off of.
Also, if getting sick on the boat, try and remember what side is the downwind side. Bouncy seas, diesel fumes and fishing at night is about the worst combination that I can think of, especially when I haven't been out on a boat all year. I'd take an anti-seasickness pill or wear a patch for the first day or two and I'd be fine the rest of the year as long as I went out at least once a month.
The crew wasn't happy with a buddy from Oklahoma. He came out to visit and we went on a 2 day trip. He got seasick, and used the sink in the cabin for a depository. Not good!!
