Ginger? Does not help. Though at least it tastes pretty good.
[Alex is talking to the journal. It's late at night, she's sick as hell, and there's a prevailing exhaustion both night and day that's starting to slow her down. She's doing her best to hide it -- eating plenty, sleeping the few hours she can... Everything but what she knows will fix it.
Here? That's kind of awkward to even think about approaching.
So, she's on the deck of Triton's Mistress. The rocking is less awful here, and she's able to dump, lower, and therefore clean her bucket (kept by her side) easiest on deck. She's leaned back against the steps leading up to the quarterdeck and helm, apparently half asleep.
On the other side of her, away from the bucket, is a mug of ginger tea.]
I'm trying to find cures for seasickness. Nothing seems to be working.

[He can tell she's not taking him seriously, which is understandable. He didn't take the suggestion seriously at first, but it was either that or puke for a month. He chose a barrel.
Good luck, then.

Which makes this situation difficult, at best.
...And her mood doesn't help either.]
Thanks. This is getting really irritating.

[Probably because of why she's seasick, but that has no bearing on this situation.]

What's wrong with you that ginger doesn't work? Are you allergic to it?

Seriously, he can do a dozen things all at once.]
Find something stable in the horizon to look at.

Then there's the sound of retching.]
...Nope.
[This is getting old. Real old, real fast. And she can't help but sound utterly exhausted.]

Go below deck, then, near the cargo. The lower you are, the less you'll rock, you know.

[Experience has taught her that. She tried hiding down below the first couple of hours the first night and found it utterly unbearable.]

Given that seasickness comes from your center of balance being tampered with, you should go where it's the more balanced.
