re: Motion sickness prevention.

I get sea sick very easily and the Scopolamine patch worked great for me.
Have him call his GP or an ENT. It's worth it. The dry mouth is unpleasant but way less unpleasant than puking and wishing you were dead.

Tell him to make an appointment with his doctor and ask for prescription to help. There's some type of Rx patch that's worn behind the ear that really helps. I know somebody who gets severe motion sickness and they wear those patches every time for plane rides, cruises, theme parks...and it works. Not sure what the patches are called but doc should be able to help.

I get sea sick sometimes too....agree it is somewhat mental, because once I start thinking about it or worrying, its too late. I've tried most everything and nothing works for me, so now I just don't take anything.
I got sick on my first trip in C.R. Drank a ton of wine and my wife got sick first. It was over for me after that. I didn't get sick my second time in C.R. Didn't really do anything different except for didn't drink too much each night.
So with that in mind, stay busy. Stay on back of the boat. Stay out of the cabin. What I find is to snack constantly on crackers, etc. Keeps my stomach from getting too empty. Seems to really help for me.

Don't drink alcohol 24 hours prior to getting on boat Don't eat fatty foods 36 hours prior to getting on boat Don't drink coffee the morning of trip Do drink double the amount of water you think you should consume Stay at the back of the boat and out of the cabin Get an easy rider if possible for the ride out Keep eyes on the horizon
mostly this, but also, if the boat it putting out a ton of diesel fumes that are staying in the back then go up on the bridge to get fresh air.

what were you doing in 30 foot seas? the only reason anyone would go out in that would be a coast guard or crab fisherman, and someone that gets seasick really easily would sign up for those jobs.

Luckily, it's normally pretty damn calm fishing off of Costa Rica.

I get seasick and don't think it's mental. I've worked offshore and seen it many times with many others also. I've even seen crewboat captains get it sometimes. The only help I can tell you a Relief Aid watch. Buddy of mine who actually has it worse than me could never fish offshore nor fly. He does both now and swears by it. I just don't go offshore anymore but I will try it if I do

I used to work on a charter boat in Southern California and we'd always use ginger capsules like someone above said. It avoids the drowsiness of prescription meds. Ginger calms the nausea - that's why they always used to give kids ginger ale when they were throwing up - the carbonation, the ginger and the fluid settles your stomach and rehydrates you. Ginger capsules at GNC and prescription stuff for a backup to cover all bases.

im an ROV technician and work on a 300ft construction vessel. the fun nights are where the boat heaves so hard that you become weightless for a second while laying in your bunk.
