Re: Best meds (or not) for seasickness
 
I've found that Bonine gives me the munchies like I just smoked a fatty. Not sure what's in it but I could eat like JMurr when I take those pills.

Dramamine doesn't have the same effect and has kept me from getting sick.

Drinking a few beers and Philly Pretzels have also worked wonders.

Philly pretzel heated up with a cold beer is a cure all for any sickness you may have:D

A good fatty tends to knock down nausea also. Maybe I just need to burn one before getting on the boat.:D;)

Either a half or whole Dramamine 30 minutes before sailing works for me. If it's nasty, I take another when I leave the inlet.

Fortunately, I still have a 15 left and only take them when I know for sure it's going to be snotty.

Do you have to decide what days are "spongeworthy"?

Everyone is different and I dont get seasick at all so I cant help on meds but what I do each morning I go out is before I have a sip of coffee is eat a banana and a couple tums. calms my stomach and keeps it settled all throughout the day, until the 5 seconds right before I walk in the door:eek:
