I do not own an ocean going boat, but I do fish out of Half Moon Bay CA and Berkley CA twice a year or more on half or whole day charter boats.
My most recent trip was memorable in that without exception everyone on board, less the captain, the hand and myself were heaving their guts over the side and green faced in the cabin, with no fishing going on.
Why was this?
Myself, I do not take any magic medicine or patches. What I do is as follows.
I refrain from any alcohol the night before. I eat a reasonable dinner the night before at an early hour. I drink lots of water.
The morning of my trip I usually eat Oatmeal with Walnuts, and a large slice of Cantelope. No Caffeine.
Once on board I pay very, very close attention to the design of the ships exhaust system. I make it a point to avoid the chance of breathing ANY Diesel exhaust. Even if I have to bundle up and ride in the bow.
Fresh air and no Diesel fumes, those are my cure all's to sea sickness
My last trip out of HMB there was a bad boy biker type guy, being an abnoxious loud braggart on the rails. He and I were seated port side outside along the Captains helm.
Once he began puking into the wind and water off the wonderful waters of Frisco. I decided I needed a beer and a sandwich. I shook my Budweiser and popped it and made certain there was a bit of a spray and dug into my side dish of Peperocinis. RALPH!!!!!
So what are your remedies to avoid sea sickness? (Hopefully you recognize some TIC)
