This works for me and I've tried this on a lot of other people also:<br><br>1) Take one Bonine the night before you leave (about 6-8 hours before the boat leaves the dock. Take another 12-18 hours after the first one. On multi-day trips take another every 24 hours.<br><br>2) Eat! Eat before you get on the boat, eat while you are on the boat. Stay away from oily foods and stick to rice, bread or crackers. Starches are a great thing to have in your stomach at all times. You need something to soak up the acids in your stomach! I take along Japanese rice balls with me. Don't forget water.<br><br>3) Ginger pills. Use these throughout the day if you still feel a little queasy. Ginger has a soothing effect on your stomach. Try it - it really works!<br><br>4) Fresh air. I usually feel a little strange after I've inhaled second-hand smoke. Stay clear from it and it will help you to be outside on the deck.<br><br>Good luck!<br><br>Jeff<br><br>--<br>troutman = half trout / half man
