how not to get seasick

since my first day here on the boat, i've heard of plenty of ways to overcome seasickness. but until the end, only a very few worked for me. these are what they said:


1. eat plenty so you have something to throw up.

2. drink plenty of water.

3. don't eat fruits, especially orange.

4. breathe some fresh air at either port or starboard side, wherever the wind is.

5. go to the bridge and just look at the horizon.

6. don't look at the waves. look at the horizon.

7. don't drink pills so your body will adjust.

8. go to the back deck and breathe fresh air.

9. do not face that way so you won't rock in a forward-backward motion. left-right motion is better.

10. let the fizz out of the soda and drink it.

11.drink pills after breakfast.

12. don't think about getting seasick.

13. don't think of your boyfriend.

14. go to the medic's room. there's less swaying there.

15. don't think about your fight with your boyfriend.

16. take a shower all the time to keep fresh (no wonder the water pump broke down!).

17. run around the boat to keep your blood pumping.

and plenty more but with the same point.
