Yakin in the yak... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've only gotten seasick once while kayaking, that was sometime last year and it happened late night early before while there was some nice swells rolling through. I've been pretty fortunate and rarely, and I mean rarely get any kind of seasickness. They say that focusing on the horizon this is supposed to prevent seasickness but by the time you start feeling like you want to toss your cookies its really to late what you stare at. They also say that the best remedy is to just let it out, try that next time. The one thing that worked for me last year was when I got hooked on a WSB, that made it go away almost instantly

I find a belly with food in it is better than it being empty.

A quick google search and I found this link: http://goddesscruise.com/SeaSick.htm

They seem to think that food can help do the trick for avoidance. But they also say no alcohol. WTF do they know?

Maybe a few more trips in rough conditions (after you shot-gun a beer) will help you find your sea legs and toughen up that gut of yours.
