Sometimes just getting a goodnights sleep, a good stable breakfast and lots of green tea on the yak works great for me. Only time i get sick is when im not facing land. position your yak torward the land, and it will help alot. |

Motion Ease works good, and you can use it after you get motion sickness and it will still work.
Place 1 drop behind each ear and a few minutes later the symptoms disappear. http://www.motioneazeworks.com/ |

Somewhere I read about a drink called Smooth Sailing - which is to help with motion sickness.

My price was a bit cheaper. I ended up getting 100 tablets for $5. Must be a difference between insurance companies. The other option that works great is the scopolamine patch. That's my go to plan for overnighters on the big boat. |

This is weird. I have been pretty sea sick on a few of the multi-day trips I have been on, but never on my kayak. I had thought that it was because on the boat you are fighting the rocking, and on the kayak you are just rolling with it. But I guess that is not the case?

The secret to not getting seasick (aside from previous remedies mentioned) is to keep your eyes on the horizon. When you are looking down and rolling around your equilibrium is messed up and your mind doesn't know what way is up.
Keep your eyes on the horizon, breathe fresh air, stay hydrated and cool, and start the day off with a decent breakfast (you are exercising after all). |
