Gould mentioned ginger, which works great for me. Keep some name-brand
ginger snap cookies on the boat in ziplock bags. Nabisco is good, but if you
can find Salerno (brown bag, not a box), they're the best. They contain more
real ginger. Works best if you eat a few BEFORE you're sick. There's also a
type of asian ginger candy you can find in some supermarkets. They're about
the size & consistency of Tootsie Rolls and come in cellophane bags,
individually wrapped. They're probably the most concentrated type of ginger
you can get, short of eating the actual root. Most people I've given them to
have found them to be palatable. Check the import section.

There's another great ginger source, sugared ginger. It's basically
slices of ginger root, coated with crystalized ginger, and
dehydrated. Spicy and sweet and yummy. Again, any asian market will have
it, along with many gourmet type grocery stores. I can't vouch for it's
effectiveness against seasickness, becasue I'm lucky enough to not be
affected by it.
