Default Question?

I see so it just depends on the person, well I hope I adapt well
or I will be spending time hanging over the side LOL

Motion sickness, or sea sickness, is most often caused by inner ear
disturbances and your sense of balance. If you lose a focal point, you may
become ill. That is why being at the tiller or wheel helps...you regain
focus. Take a light, non-drowsy antihistamine the first couple of times you
go out and see how things go. If you still get woozy, then try a scop
patch...dramamine tends to make people really sleepy, which isn't really the
answer to the problem. Also, do not eat anything you do not want to taste a
second time around before you sail if you know you're a puker.
