..Glad I'm not the only one!

I'm thinking of getting a prescription so that I can have some on hand for others. I never get sick, but I know too many hard heads that won't man up and get a prescription, like my dad.

Then also if somehow I do ever feel ill, I'm hooked up. Better safe than sick.

i'll second scopace. we do an annual 2-day work charter and i've seen the guys from work (mostly non-fisherman types) with and without.....it's a major difference.

I've patched up when the seas are going to be rough and it gives you a nice energy buzz too, which it the opposite of the over the counter dope.

good luck!

The best cure for seasickness is catching Fish! If im fighting a Fish, I forget about how sick and crappy the swell is! on a serious note, I used to stay up all night, (not a morning person) so that i could get up on time to make it to the launch with the rest of the crew. Also I wouldnt eat anything, or even bring fluids. Id seem to feel uneasy in rough water, and very uncomfortable, but never at a puking stage. (long range trips i get very sick, whats wierd is when i was a kid i never got seasick)

Sometimes just getting a goodnights sleep, a good stable breakfast and lots of green tea on the yak works great for me.

Only time i get sick is when im not facing land. position your yak torward the land, and it will help alot.

This is weird. I have been pretty sea sick on a few of the multi-day trips I have been on, but never on my kayak. I had thought that it was because on the boat you are fighting the rocking, and on the kayak you are just rolling with it. But I guess that is not the case?

The secret to not getting seasick (aside from previous remedies mentioned) is to keep your eyes on the horizon. When you are looking down and rolling around your equilibrium is messed up and your mind doesn't know what way is up.

Keep your eyes on the horizon, breathe fresh air, stay hydrated and cool, and start the day off with a decent breakfast (you are exercising after all).

Motion Ease works good, and you can use it after you get motion sickness and it will still work.

Place 1 drop behind each ear and a few minutes later the symptoms disappear.

Somewhere I read about a drink called Smooth Sailing - which is to help with motion sickness.
