Ironically, yesterday I was looking up an old episode of
Myth Busters
(Does pickup truck tail gate down increase mileage) and
ran across
their session on sea sickness remedies. Ginger was the
only thing
they tried that did work. Not sure if there is any benefit
to taking
it early but I think it works even after you start to
feal queasy.
Most use tablets with water.

Course if you're bloated with cookies when you go
aboard......

And of course you need to drink milk with those cookies.



No personal experience. Have never been sea sick,
although slightly
queasy when a diesel leak put some raw diesel in the
bilge.

The only time I felt queasy was anchored in a storm, closed
up cabin, with an alcohol stove cooking spaghetti. Not a
good combination.

In 1957 my dad was assigned to Hickam AFB. We drove to San Francisco
and boarded a WWII US Navy troop transport, refurbished slightly. For
our first meal out, just after passing under the Golden Gate and
catching some swells, was "Split Pea Soup". Wonderful stuff, green and
slopping about in the waves. All of this in front of Men/Women/Children
who've never been to sea before. The second course, for those who still
remained, was "Fried Pork Chops" swimming in it's grease. Damn, those
Navy cooks had a real sense of humor! :-)

Wuss.. Green pea will settle the stomach.... to bland, Coonass fish
head and rice soup, now thats the ticket. The Greasy pork
chops....thats a standard. Bacon works good too! Top things off with a
nice Cigar...once you get the weak ones blowing chunks the rest are
easy.

It also helps if you make wall paper for the head by printing this 100
