Fish11 I like your method I'll try that this weekend. I don't get motion sickness but my buddy does so hopefully he's good

Do make sure you eat something before going out and take a sandwich or something like that for lunch. Just main thing is to not focus on looking down for too long or your brain is not letting your body know that things are moving.

Meclizine, OTC med

I am very sensitive to motion sickness. Which includes seasickness.

I have tried everything that can normally be found.

Meclizine has been the only medicine that has worked %98 of the time.

Per recommendation of Hunters Pa, I purchase the rieliefband.

So far so good, however it has been in not so rough water. I have also not gotten it wet.

I will report as I get to use it more. There is a small tube of cream that is about
$10.00, which too expensive for the size. I may be able to find a different brand cheaper.

I don't recall when was the last time that I got seasick on my kayak but I've learned that the longer you try to avoid the inevitable (tossing your cookies) the worse the trip will be. If/when I get seasick I just let it all out, as soon as I do that I feel much better. Holding it in is like trying to hold in your diarrhea, the sooner you let it out the sooner you'll feel better
