I have a non-boating friend who's going on a cruise next
week. He's concerned about seasickness. I told him


ginger is

a good cure. I bought him a box of Ginger Snaps ( more


for a

joke ). Should he start munching on these before he


steps

onboard or wait till / if he feels bad?

I'd start munching just before I left.
If he's on a big cruise ship, I doubt he's be feeling the


same way he

would on a 33 foot sailboat with 5 foot swells on an aft


quarter that

might make you pitch, yaw & roll.




He knows I have a 30' sailboat and asked me what I do about
it. I told him it never bothered me.....yet.

Lucky you...if I don't drug-up, I upchuck.
Those little pea type pressure wrist bands don't cut it for me.
