Any tips to avoid sea sickness?

Just think about it really hard. Should be good to go.

STAY OUT OF THE CABIN

remain out on the deck with the horizon in view.
if you go below thats when you'll get sick

go get some of those wristbands with the pressure point things
they work

There's tons of things you can do
Dramamine
Ginger ale
Patches
Etc.

Just don't drink a lot the night before and don't think about it and you'll be fine

Tried just a scopalamine patch the first day, still got sick. Patch plus Dramamine the second day and I was good to go.

Bend at the knees through the rolling motion when you are feeling nauseous and steady yourself on something

If worried, stay in the cockpit, eat some bread or something that will act as a sponge in your stomach, don't drink too much liquid (normal amount),and don't focus on stuff super close too long, like tying knots or reading.

Imagine moving your hand in front of your face in and out from six inches to 12 inches. It makes you feel uncomfortable and a little sick. Same thing on a boat, your head doesn't stay still and your eyes are constantly trying to focus. Oh, and it's a head game for some, don't think about it and good luck catching fish.

Don't drink alcohol and if you feel queasy, look at the horizon. My wife hates going below deck to use the head. I am fine and don't get sea sick but my wife does. I make her wear some shot called sea bands but I doubt they do a damn thing.

Just throw the frick up. On blue water fishing trip, if a new guy is looking green, I tell him to throw up and enjoy the day.

I remember the time my brother got stuck in the bathrm on a 58' choy lee. 6'ft seas and he was stuck in there for over an hour. Came out covered in puke

I figured I'd avoid sleeping in the cabin on the way out.

If the cabin is cool or, preferably, cold, laying down and sleeping is the best way to avoid getting seasick. Dramamine works, wrist bands don't for most people. Ginger pills or gingerade is also good. There's a myth busters on motion sickness, they found only Dramamine and ginger pills were very effective.

One word of advice, this is probably the one time when throwing up does not make you feel better. Do everything in your power not to. But once your actually fishing and have your mind on something else, it'll be alright.
