Battling Seasickness

Thanks to all of you who have written in with your suggestions and concerns about my potential seasickness. You can rest assured; I’ll be prepared with all the possible prescriptions meds, over the counter remedies and even some natural remedies. I’ve spoken to many a sailor, and done a bunch of online research, and I am ready!

One of the most entertaining (and informative) places that I found out about seasickness remedies was on Myth Busters. Let me break the suspense for you, the best solution that they found (and they tried everything) were ginger pills, taken frequently. Better than the patch, better than Dramamine and Bonine, better than anything.

So, what have I got in my anti-puking arsenal? I’ve got some crystallized ginger, Dramamine, acupressure wrist doohickey-thingies, “the patch”, organic ginger tea, Bonine, and ginger beer. All I need now is some chocolate covered ginger and a barf bag and my seasickness prevention kit is complete. Stay tuned and I’ll let you know which works out the best for me.
