Notaro,
Write this down.
WHAT JIMBO SAID.
TRANSDERM SCOP PRESCRIPTION PATCHES.
Go see your doc and get a prescription. It isn't that much $$$ and I swear by this medication! It has yet to fail me. All you need to do is put it on behind your ear TWO HOURS before you get on the boat. Typical side efffects are slight dizziness and dry mouth.
The problem I've had with Dramamine/Bonine is that it can make you drowsy, and it hasn't always worked for me. I remember back in Spring 2000 - I was on the Miss Hatteras (NC) party boat. Took the dramamine a few hours before the boat left the dock.
An hour into the trip I couldn't stop hurling and I was dredging up bloody bile by the time the final "lines up" was called. I thought I was going to die.
If you're prone to seasickness (and nearly everyone is) - DON'T MESS AROUND AND GET THE Rx PATCH.
