for all the suggestions. I emailed my dr, and see no reason why he wouldn't write up a rx for the scopace to try out.

I will post my experience after a couple times out.

..Glad I'm not the only one!

I'm thinking of getting a prescription so that I can have some on hand for others. I never get sick, but I know too many hard heads that won't man up and get a prescription, like my dad.

Then also if somehow I do ever feel ill, I'm hooked up. Better safe than sick.

i'll second scopace. we do an annual 2-day work charter and i've seen the guys from work (mostly non-fisherman types) with and without.....it's a major difference.

I've patched up when the seas are going to be rough and it gives you a nice energy buzz too, which it the opposite of the over the counter dope.

good luck!

The best cure for seasickness is catching Fish! If im fighting a Fish, I forget about how sick and crappy the swell is!

on a serious note, I used to stay up all night, (not a morning person) so that i could get up on time to make it to the launch with the rest of the crew. Also I wouldnt eat anything, or even bring fluids. Id seem to feel uneasy in rough water, and very uncomfortable, but never at a puking stage. (long range trips i get very sick, whats wierd is when i was a kid i never got seasick)

Sometimes just getting a goodnights sleep, a good stable breakfast and lots of green tea on the yak works great for me.

Only time i get sick is when im not facing land. position your yak torward the land, and it will help alot.

This is weird. I have been pretty sea sick on a few of the multi-day trips I have been on, but never on my kayak. I had thought that it was because on the boat you are fighting the rocking, and on the kayak you are just rolling with it. But I guess that is not the case?

Motion Ease works good, and you can use it after you get motion sickness and it will still work.

Place 1 drop behind each ear and a few minutes later the symptoms disappear.

Somewhere I read about a drink called Smooth Sailing - which is to help with motion sickness.
