Put a pea or ear plug in opposite ear of your dominate arm. Eg if right handed put earplug in left ear and leave it in while out on briny. Works a treat with my young fella and missus.

Gday KK,
You remember ET the league player for the sharks? He has his own seasick capsules, I have been using them for years, they are awesome, cincotta chemist in carringbah, they make up new batches a few times a week, they will deliver to you ( in a few days) $20 for 10 capsules, wish I had shares in them
Google ET Seasick

A mate of mine and his missus always got sick, and one of there young fellas. They told me about it as my young fella gets a bit queasy. It's all about your inner ear that makes you seasick, it fixed it for them and also my young fella. Ear plugs are the best as they stay in your ear. "And that's all I have to say bout that... "

Best cure for sea sickness is to sit under a tree.

one of my favourites and sometimes people ask me if it really does work Big smile

There are some great concoctions that really do work. I'd steer clear of the homeopathic remedies and see a chemist, those guys make good stuff

We have a guy who has got cronic sea sick for decades...even when flat.
Told him to
 1/ read the instructions on the sea sick tablet packet.. the day before.. usually they sat take the night before.. on the day is too late.
2/ Get into ginger, preferably starting the day or couple days before... be it crystallised , bundiburg ginger beer etc.
3/On the day take 2/ out for drinking, nibbling on.

He still gets sea sick if at anchor and choppy..sometimes if drifting and rough....but now just gets felling unwell, and when move the boat and a ginger beer perks up fine.. he does recon that his 'proneness' to sea sick (and air sick) is far more tolerant than 3 or 4 yrs ago....
Have done this with several others and they all recon makes a huge difference.
The most important is follow the instructions on the bloody packet.
