But Andy,
What's the order of your prescriptions? Minor to
Stergeron, almost all choices only work for 20%
of the population. I do fine with Bomine in my
system, and we all are a little sluggish the
first couple days. We did have a doc suggest
cutting the patches in half - you may not need
the whole dose.
2 cents, Lee
Thank you Veddy Veddy Much for that PSA on STD's (Sea Transmitted Disease)
I have forwarded that to all my Mal de Mar friends.

Subject: Stus-List getting seasick
Just noticed Joel saying he'd had to turn around
because a crewmember was so sick on the way home
from Bermuda. (Welcome home, Joel!)
This is a public service message. As one who
suffered for three days on his first offshore
passage, I know how bad being seasick can be.
Since that time I've racked up more miles under
sail than most. I've also introduced a lot of
crewmembers and clients to offshore sailing--
where getting seasick is a constant hazard. I
have found out what works and what doesn't. I
will share it with you for the low, low one-time
price of...oh wait, that would mean
Stu....nevermind.
During my offshore sailing program where I took
sailors to sea for their first offshore
experiences, I once had 54 newbies leaving
Newport on 10 different boats. our departure was
delayed for three days. Each day, we thought we
would leave the next day, so everyone took their
seasick medication. By the time we finally got
out on the water, each crewmember had three days
worth of their preferred medication in their
system. As a result, only one person was sick in
the fairly rough conditions we encountered the
first couple of days, and the guy who was sick
was a "mighty man of the sea" who never got
seasick and didn't take any meds.
It did not matter what kind of meds the sailors
were using, as long as it was well into their
system.
Normally, I would have expected at least 65-75% attrition in those conditions.
The above even works for my bride, who gets sick
if she looks at a puddle on a windy day.
