Ive heard this ginger thing works, also a little pill called drememine (i think). I would advise standing in the centre of the deck fixing your eyes on a point on the horizon. Long deep breaths and all should be fine. The best way to stay seasick free in my opinion is to stay in the pub

Dont go on a boat!!!

Well done Jim, I was just about to post the same advice.

 

I would say always look at the horizon and keep on deck and active if possible. The only time I have ever felt sick was at the side of a Pier trying to fix something in the bilges. Don't do what a lot of people do on our ferries and that is to lay down and try and sleep.

Keep out of the pub the night before and don't meet up in a Little Chef for a fry up an hour before going out!

Make sure your stomach isn't empty - only time I started to feel ill was when I became quite hungry but was too busy to eat. Skipper told me to fill my stomach, which I did & instantly felt better ...

i havent tried the pills that was my next option but i just thought if i put a bit of ginger under my tounge and took a pill all should be ok

4 cups of sweet tea, get on the boat, puke your ring, and then you will be ok.

 

Or pop a fishermans friend

Over the last god knows how many years I've tried everything (except ginger!)

A pint of milk as you get on the boat.

A mouthful of brandy,

A greasy breakfast

Empty stomach

Acupressure beads.

Quells

Dramamine (made me so drowsy I nearly fell in as I was chucking up).

The only time I didn't get sick was when the outboard on a small dinghy wouldn't start and the tide was racing out. Shows how a bit of adrenaline concentrates the mind!!

As a consequence of this, and as discretion is the better part of valour, I've gone back to coarse fishing. No trouble so far.
