This subject has been covered many times, so to sum it up.

Don't think about getting sea sick and you probably won't.

Don't get plastered the night before going out, and you won't.

Have a good breakfast, and you probably won't.

Keep your stomach occupied, and you probably won't. #( eat dry bikkies and fizzy drink ).

Keep yourself occupied and you probably won't.

But should all else fail.

There are a number of pills that should ( no gaurantee ) do the trick.

Others will post names here. #I used to get crook, but that was due to a inner ear prob. #That taken care of, I'm sweet.

Cheers # Phill

Hi bowds13
keep looking in the past post on this subject but the older guy's and Gal's used fresh Ginger or Ginger beer and as Phil has stated if in doubt don't drink but always have a good breakfast make sure that toast is part of that as it will make a good lining on the stamoch

Cheers

Now there is an interesting set of observations.

I am very uncomfortable on roller coasters, any sort of non-smooth movement in an aeroplane, and I don't take well to spinning in a circle.

However, in hindsight, those things that Phil has mentioned are all practised my me when I go boating and I have never ever been sea-sick in all of my 55 years even though I have seen a bit of rough weather in various craft now and then. Phil's "rules" must be all true.

In fact, I am regularly surprised about how often one of my most boating-experienced mates talks about his own sea-sickness. By comparison, the thought of getting sea-sick just never enters my mind. Perhaps there is much wisdom in Phil's first observation.

A couple of weeks ago on Mythbusters they tried a number of things, and the only one that appeared to really work was ginger.

i've passed on my answer to this a number of times,,,, TOMATO JUICE,,,,,

freshly squeezed is best,,,, but if not able buy the largest container affordable

drink as much as you can tolerate the night b4,,,,, and prior to setting out take another few mouthfuls,,

problem solved,,,,,,,,,,,,,















if you happen to get sick,,, your crew will think your heamorraging,,,,it'll be the fastest trip back to the ramp ever

Did anyone see the mythbusters results on this one?

Ginger tablets worked just as good as the drugs on their two subjects.
The ginger has the bonus of not making u sleepy or feeling really doped out like the drugs can.
Don't know if they work for everyone.

Also, in one trial, they gave the two guys a placebo(fake tablet) and it worked on one of them but not the other.

That reminds me, we went out on a charter with Mono last May and I told one guy much the same things Phil said earlier. Well, to cut a long story short, after two hours sleep, a dozen dark & stormy's and an iced coffee and a greasy pie for breaky - that same guy popped a coupla tabs and thought she'll be right........ wrong!

They didn't get a chance to work, it all came back up 15 mins later. We'd barely left the bait grounds and started trolling. That rumbo/coffee/pie slick spread to about 30 metres wide and followed us for about 20 minutes - very entertaining!

Vegemite toast for brekkie!! Works everytime.......or does it? I've always used travel calm and never had any dramas.

Qwells and lime cordial.

Sugar coated ginger lollies!

If you do become sea sick you'll need something to replace the electrolytes you lose over the side. Sugary drinks and salty biscuits can help replace electrolytes, as long as they don't make you sick again.
Otherwise you can always jump in the water for a few minutes, if it's safe, getting out of the boat will settle the stomach quickly. regards

comin home from the outer reef at townsville in really heavy seas on a big cat, the staff handed out ginger pills..
About 50% still got sick.
My missus or I didn't get sick so dont know..
I can go out 30 times and not get sick them one day i'll be as sick as a dog.
I have a chuck then go back to fishin.. works for me

Avomine seems to have the least side effects for friends of mine that take em.
