Having just seen "Into the Wild" again last night, I'm picturing John as a substitute for Christopher McCandless.
Somehow, I have to introduce a bus into John's story or a ham into the movie....

My younger brother was in a similar situation last year, but nowhere near as bad as yours. He went offshore fishing for marlins with a few buddies of his. The plan was to go several hundred miles south onto the Caribbean sea and fish for about two to three days. My brother got really sea sick pretty much the entire trip. He didn't have the stomach(pun intended) to ruin everyone else fishing trip so he had to suck it up and stay on the boat quarters throwing up; it was a nice yacht so it wasn't that bad. Nevertheless, he says it was the three most miserable days he's ever had. Being sea sick is not life threatening provided that you drink enough water, but a salmonella poisoning may be pretty dangerous, you're a brave man for staying. ...Man, doing that trip twice must have sucked big time :-)

Sorry to hear about your ordeal there John, great to see that you're feeling somewhat better ... wishing you a full and quick recovery.
Jaime that reminds me from a couple of months ago whenever the non-fishing guy in back of us wanted to go offshore fishing with my son and me, I had a feeling it wasn't going to be good and it wasn't. The guy started getting sick just as we put the trolling lines out some 18 miles offshore and he stayed sick until we got back to the dock, about three hours later. He'd been bugging me for the last year to take him fishing, he hasn't since.
