Sea Sicknes help?

Used Meclazine for a trip on an aircraft carrier in 18 - 24 foot seas and never got sick. Those who know me, would not believe it. If you can find it, have her use it!

Other tips are fresh air, no booz the night before and stay away from smokers. Real ginger is good too if she starts feeling woozy.

I've only been moderately seasick once and have never thrown up on a boat. i was on a 16 hour off shore trip and started feeling really crappy. Dizzy, stomach was turning, I actually went inside and layed down for an hour and felt much better. I know that goes against all the advice but it's what has worked for me.

A solid nights sleep the night before the trip is really important also. I find I start to not feel well in the afternoon if I don't sleep. Last sunday on the Angler I had to go inside for a bit in dead calm waters just because the Sun got to be too much. I had only slept 4 hours as well. I think less tired would have equaled less not feeling well.

I usually have 2 porkroll-egg and cheese sammiches with ketchup and mayo, one order of fries and a jelly doughnut. Joey...if you punch her in the nose hard enough she won't complain about getting sick

i will have to say, i normally dont get sick unless i drink to much on the boat, and when im fishing, its like a vacation, so i do party it up (unless im driving!!)

Ginger candy does it for my son. One every half hour beginning a hour before getting on the water.

Holy smokes Mick.. I thought I was pretty tough.. but that breakfast makes my guts do trick shots off my adam's apple just sitting here at my desk

A good nights sleep usually helps. But for dinner the night before eat something heavy. meats and carbs usually works. If you do get the dizzys, just let it fly. but save the last mouth full and swallow it back down. there some sort of madness thats involved but it worked for me.

My wife gets sea sick just looking at the water. The best remedy I found is to leave her home and take my son. Works out great!

Exactly. Maybe some drinking the night before, two hours of sleep if I'm lucky, porkroll egg and cheese sammich, plenty of coffee, smokes, and breathe in the fresh diesel and green crab scent in the fall. That's what makes up part of a fun fishing day for me.

Sometimes a nice cigar to share with those that look a lil green really makes my day.
