rubberbootbunny said:I never get Seasick, or so I thought. But the EC7N of Sept 9 2012 did me in (Hurricane Leslie).
When asked the crew told me the seas were currently between 30-40 ft. and that the roll would improve when the Fantasy had finished the turn it was making and was no longer broadside to the trough. I saw several crewmembers a decided shade of green, and more than a few addmitted to needing to take something on that cruise.
I tried Seabands and the bands worked great for me and my daughter. During the storm I started going "green" but minutes after I put them on, I was fine and once the worst of the storm was passed we seemed fine with them off, they really worked for us. But then, This is the first time I have ever been seasick and I have been sailing and around boats/ferries ect, for most of my life
A bunch of buddies and I all went out to do some off-shore fishing and we all took Dramamine before we left and we did fine - for the most part. A storm came up and we headed in. Things got choppy and we sat it out in the cabin. I jokingly told one of my buddies that Dramamine only lasts for so many hours and should be wearing off. You could see his face turning green like in cartoons. He spent the rest of the trip in out on the deck getting blasted by the crashing waves.Once I knew it was all in my head, I could get control over it. The difference between that cruise and my Catalina experience was really like night and day. Once you know how your body is responding and why, you can control it more easily than you might expect.
Is Bonine available in Canada? Is it the same thing as Gravol?
