What can I do to avoid sea sickness?

Holden Beach Fishing Reports covering Holden Beach Fishing
There is no cure-all for sea sickness. Some are naturally more prone than others. I suggest you take a Dramamine motion sickness pill with dinner the evening prior to your fishing trip and then 1/2 of a pill with a light breakfast on the morning of your trip. Taking more pills WILL NOT be any more effective and will cause you to be very drowsy and lethargic

What about sea sickness?

The Bike, Hike and Paddle Touring Company Frequently Asked Q...
This usually isn't an issue because if the seas are rough we get off the water. We have designed the tours so that we have ample time to cover the distance without having to paddle in rough water. Additionally if someone is sick we have a mother boat standing by so that a peson can take a break for a day or two to recover. The mother boat allows novices to participate since they don't have to feel pressured to exert themselves any harder than is enjoyable and safe for them.

Mild cases of sea sickness can be overcome with sensitivity and care; they usually last only a short time. We have wrist bands and ointment that goes behind the ear. Also, lots of fresh air and looking out at the horizon are good cures for mild cases of seasickness. A more serious case which persisted for more than the first day would be handled as an emergency.

If you are prone to seasickness we recommended you take the prescribed daily dose of any of the over the counter remedies the night before your trip (Dramamine, Trip tone, Bonine). This allows the medication to enter your system and begin working. Then follow up with an additional dose the morning of your trip. We also recommend you avoid rich, heavy foods and you start with a light non greasy breakfast.

Buy Dramamine, an inexpensive sea sickness remedy available at Greek Pharmacies and even harbor kiosks. It deadens stomach muscles and is highly recommended if you are prone to sea-sickness. Take it before you feel bad... not after! Before boarding even. Jump for a few minutes a couple of times a day. You will condition your vestibular system to the motion and reduce your susceptibility to seasickness significantly.
