How about a greasy undercooked egg, with greasy home fries and a cup of day old instant coffee. (Ok, the instant coffee was "fresh", but I' do agree about watching the horizen, eating solid foods (pretzels, cookies etc...) try to limit your fluid intake because the more fluid in your stomach, the more it sloshes around. I got sick once on a charter boat, but it was like being in the SS Minnow in the open scenes of GILLIGAN'S ISLAND. Anything you can do to keep your mind busy, such as talking or reading, will help. Then there's always the pills and patches if you so decide. Good luck, and if you think you might be "chumming", bring along some gum or mints.

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

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
