I bought a 24' cabin in late fall '06 and never used it - had it winterized
for spring '07. Took a bus trip from Connecticut to the NYC boat show, with
a boating club group. I felt very weezy and almost had nausia from the bus
motions. I've never been in a small boat in waves, but wonder is bus motion
sickness similar to seasickness? In vehicles, I'm used to being the driver,
not passenger.

John,...
I am a serious believer in the SeaBand bracelets. I find that it will
do a credable job without the unpleasant side affects of other
remedies. We had a couple on my boat for the day...she could get
nauseous just looking at a bus, let alone a boat. We were out for the
entire day which she enjoyed totally. At the end of the day, she told
me she had never been on a boat even for a short period of time
without getting sick.

These bracelets can be bought at most drug stores...look where they
sell dramamine, etc.

The big advantage to using these a 1. No prescription needed. (as
opposed to Scopomine patches) plus there is no unpleasant metallic
taste like the patches produce. 2. They usually cost about $9. but
can be used over and over again. 3. You do not have to "take" them in
advance. If it's going to be a bumpy day or you suspect someone is
susceptible, just let them slip the bracelets on when they come
aboard. 4. They don't make you sleepy like dramamine and some of the
other drug-type remedies.

Anyway, try a pair and see what they do for you.
