This guy is Sick!!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

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.

O.K. you can try all the things that might work, or you can go with something that has been proven to work by many. I would rather go with the for sure thing.
