I didn't go through all the replies, so I hope I am not repeating anything. 1st - Ginger, crystallized or you can get drink mixes from the bigger Asian markets. Ginger extracts are used in numerous sea sick medicines. My first full liter of beverage is a ginger/honey drink made from a mix I get at Ranch 99.

Second, the heat causes more problems. I have been more sick on hot, calm wind days (or foggy) w/a medium swell and don't have any issue in huge sees when it is cold and breezy. Drop the dry top, and keep a wet towel or something around you neck. It will help. The only time I use meds are for trips aboard charter boats, the dry mouth/drowsiness isn't worth it on the yak when I could just tie up inside the kelp for a while to reduce the roll.

I would just like an answer to getting my land legs back after spending a long day on the yak in a good swell. I couldn't pass a sobriety test some evenings when I've been on the water too long.
