1: Is Sturgeron available there. It is the best stuff
2: 45# is a hell of a lot to haul by hand. How big is crew? If sufficient
crew, go with manual windlass. If single-handed, electric
3. SailMail

Greetings All,

I would like to get your opinion(s) please.

Firstly, besides the commercial drug option, what can I give my Son (18)
to
stop or reduce his sea sickness?
This is a real problem as in January 2004 we plan to sail from Richards
Bay
in South Africa to Brazil and then onto Seattle USA via Panama.
We just can not seem to find a remedy that suits him (poor devil).

Secondly, in your opinion, how important is it to have a Windlass
installed
to haul the Dainforth anchor (45kg - 99lb)?

And lastly, what will be our best (and cheapest) option to send and
receive
e-mails while at sea (text only)?

Many thanks,

Errol

OK, how do you dress properly for not-sea-sickness?

You dress properly for not-sea-sickness. To dress properly
for sea-sickness, you should employ lots of trashbags.

There's not much you can do about stopping or reducing
sea sickness beyond the admonishment to eat and dress
properly, to become as acclimated to the boat as possible,
and to take meds in advance of feeling ill. Eventually, usually
within a day or two, his brain will figure out the problem and
deal with it. I was pretty out of it for more than a day after
going offshore on the California coast. After that, I'm pretty
sure that someone could have chucked on me and I wouldn't
have gotten sick.

It's not a bad idea with that kind of weight unless you're a
couple
of pro wrestlers. Keep in mind the downsides to power toys on
a sailboat with respect to energy and circuit requirements for
that
kind of load. Is this your primary? What else do you have?

Several people I know use sailmail. Go to www.sailmail.com.
Requires Marine HF SSB Radio and the appropriate licenses.
