Wot is the best thing for seasickness
Wot is the best thing for seasickness
A carton of beer & half a bottle of port the night before,
& a big greasy feed of bacon & eggs before you go.

Hi
lots of info on this here. Some say Ginger, Kwell tablets. Do a search and you may come across one of the threads. Only been sea sick once and would not wish it on anyone.

Those who know me would be well aware that I have had more than more fair share of seasickness (my first 50 offshore trips i got sick)
This is what I have found to beat it.
I use Avomine seasickness tablets - I have found that these do not give you a dry mouth and still allow you to eat and drink 1 the night before 1 in the morning.
Keep your stomach full and keep eating - I have a normal dinner the night before and breakfast in the morning. then I will go through a whole pizza on the boat
Then at the slightest sign of any discomfort in your stomach throw something down your mouth. This has to be done before you start feeling sick.
I will have a bag of lollies in my pocket (shapes work well also) and just keep nibbling on them all day.
If you are trolling try driving the boat.
Above all - so much of it is in the mind - I would talk myself into getting seasick.
It is beatable - If you go through some of my old posts (04-05) you will see I used to get sick each time. Now I take the tablets as a precaution
Good luck with it

HEAD DOWN BUM UP!
Avomine for me. Some mates swear by kwells. Give a few a go, see which one works best.

Kwells for me.. make me drowsy... Red Bull.
Kwells knocks me for a 6 but trying out avomine this weekend in conjunction with a bandaid over the belly button meant to fully cover it. People swear by it. Can't hurt to try I say.
I used to get a little queazy when I was younger, but I would have been on the pi$$ the night before and just had a servo pie.
Now I'll be fine out there but I always take Kwells just in case. Try to have a pizza on-board too :-)
Not helpful really but just so you don't feel bad....
I heard there was a correlation with seasickness and eye tracking ability. Apparently those of us that don't get sick have 'sloppy' eye tracking and are used to a bit of jiggle in our worldview.
Those with excellent eye tracking are disturbed by the discrepancy between head position and worldview when on the water.
Doesn't mean us bad eye trackers can't play sport etc... We compensate. But you good eye trackers can keep focused on a incoming tennis ball etc a lot better.
I wouldn't mind a bit of jiggle in my worldview right about now....
I switched from Kwells to Avomine recently. I have found they are both effective. The Avomine, as mentioned above, doesnt give the same side effects (dry mouth) etc as Kwells. I now only use Avomine.
As the skipper, I always take one as insurance. Dont care if the deckie gets sick, but bloody hard to drive a boat through the bar if you are throwing up all the time etc.
The other trick that I tell the deckie is too look at the horizon not the rod tip. You will find many people look at the rod tip and when bobbing up and down that sets off the sickness. It wont get rid of sea sickness but find it helps offset it.
Cheers Adam
i only get sea sick once stopped actualy driving through sloppy water desn't bother me. Does avomine give you the same drowsyness? taking 1 friday night and 1 saturday morning....
