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:
