Try a "Bonine" or "Dramamine" tablet the night before and one the moring of. Should take care of any problem with motion sickness. Have a good vacation.

Bonine is the best for motion sickness

It's too late now, but the prescription patch is great.

I also had good luck with the wrist bands
that you can pick up at any drugstore.

Bonine,Bonine, Bonine. Bonine works the best for me. In a Blue Box made by Pfizer. If you can't find Bonine look at the ingredients of whatever motion sickness pill you are looking at. If the first ingredient is Meclizine Hydrochloride your in business. I think Dramamine II now has this ingredient in it.

I used to fly for the US Navy and never had any problem with motion sickness. Then, just before I retired I lost the hearing in my right ear. Now I can get sick on a Ferryboat!

Good luck!

Rick you have plenty of room to whine. Especially considering every time you get on my boat you break something. Oh well such is life. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Hey Chuck,
Just remember if you turn up missing at sea and I suddenly have a new boat in my yard it's just a coincidence. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Go to any pharmacy and ask for meclezine. Get the 25mg. It also comes in 121/2mg. They come 100 to the bottle for less than you can buy 10 tablets that are for motion sickness. I get them at Bi-Mart for about $6.00.
