They have them at a lot of places. Nice thing is you can use it even after you start feeling maggoty. Also, once you feel better you can take it off and give someone else some relief.

I always thought those were a gimmick, may be worth trying after all.

Same as the rest for me- dramamine the night before and morning of. If it's calm I don't need anything, but one day I should have taken it and didn't. Chumming from the kayak is not fun. I was worried I'd lean too far over to clear the kayak and roll.

I prefer the "Less drowsy" dramamine. Also the focusing on the horizon is solid. Even on fishing boats I can get queazy for a second if I focus down too much, rebaiting, tying on rigs, etc.

I also learned: limit alcohol the night before, and get a good nights rest. Makes a world of difference. For my wife- perfume is a no go.

He swears by it. Nothing else has ever worked for him. Even if it is all mental, for him it works and is worth its weight in gold.
