Sea Sickness & Proven Tips to Prevent it [Ladies Night]

For this Ladies Night, I chatted with my friend Nike (YT:
And our Patron Rachel (IG: sailing_piragua )
Here are some Good tips to help prevent Sea Sickness (Rachel's List)
1. No caffiene
2. Don’t go to sea hungover
3. Being down below. Stay on deck as much as possible and when down below, take time to lie down if it’s getting too much and get some fresh air. If you can, open a hatch or have a fan.
4. When down below, have a video of the sea and the horizon on your phone. I found watching this can save me from being ill.
5. Drink lots of water
6. Eat dry salty and bland foods
7. Lie down!
8. Deep breaths
9. Wear loose clothes that are not too tight around your neck. Thermals can be a big problem of they come up too high.
10. Stay cool. Getting to warm is a common trigger
11. Stay busy
12. Listen to music that you love - it’s a great distraction. Dance, sing, whatever, take your mind off it!
13. Know which smells set you off - Diesel is a common one, bananas is a weird one for me!
14. If it gets too much - sleep. Anywhere that is comfortable. For example I have slept under tables more times than I can count because it was more comfortable than my bunk!
15. Find a seasickness medication that works for you. *Scopoderm patches - I said sturgeon which is the wrong one!!
16. Believe that you won’t be ill. I used to hate people saying it but the more tricks I found and the more I believed I might not be ill, the more it worked.
17. For any sailors out there who are seasick, don’t let it get in your way. You will find something that is right for you. If you love being at sea, don’t let anything stop you. Some of the greatest sailors also suffer from seasickness! Volvo ocean race, Pete Goss ect.
