We're going on a 47-foot cat out to molokini to snorkle in about a
month, and my wife was wondering what to take in case of
sea-spoogeiness.
I've been on big boats (USS Ranger) to no ill effect and don't have
any problems flying coach in a 747-series type jet-bus, but the scale
is vastly different.
I've heard that some recommend ginger -- is a big slurp of shaved and
marinated ginger along with sushi the kind of thing they're talking
about?

If you're leaving from Lehina, you'll have no worries. It's usually flatter
'n a pancake there. We went out last on a 47 foot Cat and had a marvelous
time. If the little gal with the video camera is along for the ride, say hi
and tell her you might buy the video at the end. I think it was another $50
and worth every penny. If she knows you're interested ahead of time, she
films you more and it almost becomes a personalized video. We bought it
along with the day cruise and remember the trip as anything else we did on
Maui.
The skopamine (?) patch works well and ginger does indeed work too. On the
road to Hana there's a little stand that makes fresh ginger & sugar cane
drinks for a buck. Addictive! Have a great trip.

Thanks! We're staying up at Napili Bay. We were (at least I was)
pointed towards a "Paragon" boat, because they were recommended in a
book which said they get the sails up fast, and like to sail, while
others have a lot of people and just motor -- "Paragon" leaves from
Maalea... Do you have another recommendation? We have not yet set
anything in stone, and everybdy is eager to get our money! :-) The
video sounds pretty neat.

We've passed on the Hana trip before, because of reports of traffic.
A guy I worked with who is a native and grew up on Oahu said the Hana
Road was just bumper-to-bumper and like a parking lot.
I'm used to driving tight and twisty roads and that's where I usually
prefer to ride motorcycles, in the Coastal mountains of the SF Bay
Area, but maybe traffic should be better in November since kids are in
school and it's sorta off-season. We *ARE* going to try it this time,
because of that.

Thanks that's been a great help!

Watch the horizon. Work, or die, that is the cure for sea
sickness, real, important work. Or death.

Sailing is a survival sport.

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! :-)
I always try to make myself useful, but since it's a commercial
snorkle-boat for sea-tourists and there's going to be up to 36 other
people on board competing for space - maybe my work will be to throw
them offf? VBG
