Both...:cheers: :smash:

lol...:laughs:

Well we will be reding of some dead people if you are drinking!! Alcohol Should NEVER NEVER be allowed on board!!!!!!! And if you capt. allows it find another boat to go on!!
No one will ever bring alcohol on my boat.
Notaro do us a favor Drink a case and bend over boar in a big wake!!
That will be the end of these stupid ????????????????

macojoe.....i agree.. especially with the last line

Notaro - you are under aged - hopefully you and the skip will be carded at some point.... Think about it. You catch you fish of a lifetime but are too stinkin hammered to remember it or worse, get it in :doh:

oh, i see. alright, i won't do it. thanks for telling me not to. im not going to drink on the boat.

:) someone once told me gensing helps, don't know if it's true or not. But the prescription patches work well.

Try chopped ginger root , a little b -4 you go out ,then eat when you feel the sea getti'n to you you. the ginger root absorbs the bile in your stomach that makes you sick. LOOK at the horizon. when all else fails hold on to the rail and let it rip great chumb good luck
:gf:

linkj- thanks for the tip. knowing that i am chinese/vietnamese makes me feel relieved because i have a couple of ginger roots at home. alright, i will do that when i go on a deep sea fishing trip like captain's fishing or walsh this summer.

Sea Sickness
 

It all sounds like good advice,BUT, there is one really sure thing
that works every time. And I mean every time.

:smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash:

STAY OFF THE WATER!!!

No One Is Barf- Proof
 

I crossed the Atlantic in 1964 on a single screw transport ship. Actually we were arriving in the U.S. at the time the Thresher went down off Long Island.

Seas were 40-60 foot waves. Water breaking over the sides while turning into the seas because the ship was designated for rescue work in the case of survivors.

I, as a lowly SP4 ( E4 ) Army was pulling guard duty with a merchant mariner at the time. We had Bow Watch and waves were breaking over our heads while we were tied into place in what seemed like an upside down bath tub.

The merchant mariner gave me a package of saltine crackers and 2 organges and said 'Chew the crackers and suck on the orange and you'll be fine'

I never got sick but had to walk through vomit in the hold where the other troops were sleeping and being in the second bunk of bunks 4 high, I could lay on my side and watch the vomit go by and splatter the guy on the bottom bunk.

Toilets in the bow of the ship were great!. If you took the first set by the bow, when the bow crashed back into the ocean after a huge wave, the water pressure up the tubes would wash your butt for you quite easily.

I love the ocean, big waves impress me with their power and watching them is a thrill.

My wife hates me for going on a whale watch in 6 to 8 foot seas and eating a hot dog with mustard, relish and onions in front of her and other passengers while they turned green.

Will I ever get seasick ? Probably !!! But I hope not. Will you get seasick? If you want too by thinking of it too much. Just go out and have fun. What happens, will happen.

BTW
 

By the way, I was in Bac Lieu, RVN in 1965, In Ca Mau in 1967 and in My Tho, Dong Tam, Soc Trang and Can Tho in 1669-1972.

Great Food and Beautiful Country.

I did went out and had fun on the Captain's, then somehow craps happened. I turned green and slept for eight hours to surpress my seasickness.

Fish from the shore. Only an earthquake can shake you up then.

:D

im going to puke on wee wee.
I hate soft rollers, use to run into them on the south side of MV near Gay head on the other side of the rip at the bridge.
But I can handle slop:confused:
I think when I pilot My boat I would Be fine.
But I get car sick and I drive
I think Im having a bad hair day:laughs:

Carsick
 

The last time I experienced a carsick was when my best friend's slutty ex-girlfriend drove me and others to the school on a Auction weekend from a restaurant. She drove too fast and made a continious skidding and I couldn't breathe. I got a carsick and couldn't eat.

Another thing, I sometimes give my dad a carsick with my driving.

Reading is a BIG No-No when trying to avoid motion sickness! :yak6:

First, no alcohol. Then an hour before you leave home take to Meclyzine tabs and even though they say they are chewable put them under your tongue and let them s-l-o-w-l-y dissolve there. Carry a couple more in case it is really rough and at the first sign of the woosies slip a couple more under the tongue. You absorb more this way than by chewing and swallowing becuase to be really effective the meds need more time than your digestive system allows. Bonine is a Meclyzine based med. If it is going to be rough I use that regimen and never get sick.

The night before sleep with fresh, and I mean fresh cabbage on your head (the cabbage will clear your sinuses). The next morning eat 7 or 8 pickled olives. After doing this, a quick shot of vinegar followed by a tea-spoon of salt. It is recommend by many to eat a 1/4 pound of prunes the night before a boat outing (this will clean out your system) I hope this helped

I've read the exact same thing before exept for the prunes??? :err:

:hs: :gu: :kewl: :rollem: :rotf2:

12 pack of BASS Ale and a couple large pizzas the night B4 should do ya... :yak6: :gu:

very funny. also, i dont drink beers when eating pizzas. mixed drinks do well with me and my pizzas
;)

been there done that :yak6: the reason was.... I didnt eat before going out....
never been sick since EAT FIRST ! empty stomach no good :hs:

I usually buy a few bananas (the ones with Chequita stickers on em) ; peel off that sticker and smack it right behind your ear. At least thats what I do :smokin:

To be honest I think the best thing you can do is keep a full belly at all times.
Don't stop eating or else :yak6:

Last resort purchase Bonine

The wrist watch thing is just plain bs. Fun wearing on land though if you wanna barf

Joe,

Of the many times you went fishing with me this past summer, your best day as far as not getting too sick was when you wore the patch thingies behind your ears. You were ok that day. The other days I was worried about you. Thought you were going to go home with some homemade stitches that I would have to put in after you knocked your head on something from falling asleep when you were sick. You get head sick, I never saw you puke or anything.

Of course the slower the fishing is the worse the sickness is. And when the fishing picks up it isn't as bad.....that just human.

So for now stick to those ear things.

Scopalmine, or something like that, is the ear patch. Many people I know who get seasick feel that it is definitely the best weapon out there at this time. Prescription only, if I'm remembering correctly.

Spence, the prunes are the most important part. Listening to how severe Notaro's seasickness problem is, I would recommend eating at least a 1/2 pound of prunes instead of a 1/4. Again, I hope this helps.

www.transdermscop.com for the patch form of scopolamine.

www.motionsickness.net for Scopace which is the pill form of scopolamine.

Bah, when you feel sick, chug a can of warm coke and projectile it over the side.

You'll feel a million bucks after that and won't have to worry about being sick the rest of the ride. :rotfl:

Works every time if the Gulf Stream is nasty going to Bermuda. :btu:

prunes?! oh man.

yup, i like those. these helped me to avoid puking if the weather is choppy.
