Default RE: Sea Sickness Remedies

I get seasick in pretty calm seas if I don't take Dramamine. It can make you dowsy, but if you fight thru the first hour that wears off. I take one the night before and two the second I wake up. Never get sick w/ it, would be puking oin bay w/out.

1.take it easy the night before, bad hangover = rough morning

2.no greasy breakfast, but do eat a littlesomething light

3.ginger(i.e. gingerale) is supposed to help once it hits, not sure if it does

4.once you feel it coming, let it fly. seen lots of people ruin a day fighting the inevitable urge. i tell people to let it out and you will move to next phase. most agree w/ me after.

5.saltines work to settle stomach after you puke. never drink an ice cold anything shortly after, will always come back up.

6.nothing settles you better than 4-5 beers and warm sunshine.

7.stay out of cabin and in fresh air.

8.catching fish cures all.
