Sea-sickness: what should I take?

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 90 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
I just can't see how all that exercise can be good for you, i've never seen anyone looking healthy after a marathon either.

Stop red lining and you will last longer :)
 
Gran canaria on hols a few years ago the daughter wanted to see dolphins so booked on to one of the flat bottomed glass boast and out we went. pretty big swell and hes broadside on. Of about 50 people on the boat 35-40 are being sick over the side inc the missus and daughter. People start asking to go back and yon boy skipper no spek english lights up the smelliest cigar going which even had my stomach going ( due to another story of me, 8 cigars no food, about 10 whiskeys and a bottle of wine , being sick but for another day)
Thank God we evenatually found Dolphins and my daughther came up to the bow watching them jump saved the trip at least.

Only other time i get quesy is sitting too near the engine of too near Steve if hes eating.
 
The only real cure for sea sickness is getting a pair of sea legs!! once you have been sick a few times, you get used to it , its been mentioned but its all in the mind! coming back from weymouth in a force 7 certainly sorts you out.. well it did me

Thats a bit harsh :)

Them flat bottomed boats are crap. I remember one in NZ whale watching, they knew it was going to happen the crew had the sick bags in their hands ready!

There was a group of about 30 Japanese tourists all chundering into bags, if you looked away you could here the sick hitting the bag and the windows were closed so the smell was wonderful. There was only a few of us not sick, then the bloke next to me threw up and a bit went onto my pants, i nudged my misses to show her and she put her hand over her mouth as she was sick and sprayed me again through the gaps in her fingers.

It was like a scene out of a disaster movie where they take the people dying of some sort of plague to die in a church hall or something.

Wasn't sick myself though and saw some nice Whales too :friday

Feargus, please hold onto this memory the next time your on a boat rofl

Class Steve I still cant give you rep db must have you blocked. In reality Steve your the tidiest eater I have ever sat with near a quarry.
On the dolphin boat I was all up for taking the piss but the thing was my idea and the fact i wasn't getting sick just pissed Nicola off even more. When the dolphins did show up she still wouldn't leave the seat. Luckily the front and back of this boat was open but the cigar just didn't help.
 
Steve just says I have to spread it around but it said that a while back too. Just gave some to Bros there as well looks like your getting nowt boyo.

Yeah, five different people before you can give it to me again, get busy :)

Bro, yeah just like that, look you can see the whale out of the window :)
 
Only really been sick twice -- as a kid (once on a hot flat calm day after taking the shot battery to be stationed overseas). I can get queazy if a long time between being out and looking down onto the boat or tackle box--and when it's hellishly hot. However looking at horizon, wind in face, a little water...AND...Altoids, the curiously strong mints. Feel a little off--pop one in and the stomach settles right down. :t
 
a massive skanky grease filled breakfast should sort it out works like a dream and if you do chuck it up its more pleasent to have substance than stomach lining!rofllook at it as 'chumming the water'rofl

just spent the last 5 minutes crying my eyes out at apnea boys post about the dive boat!roflrofl
