[quote]Bonine>>>>Dramamine[/quote] I've never had issues with sea sickness, but have worked with a lot of airborne sensor operators that agree with the above for that. Others that mentioned Zofran are probably correct. It's a lifesaver for nausea. You just won't shite for a few days. ...

I swore off costa a few years ago, based on my CS experiences. Went through a few pairs of cheap ones (really liked my sunclouds), but ultimately got tired of scratches on the plastic lenses. Can't see for squat once that starts. I bought a pair of Bajio last month and love them so far. Super cl...

I shopped for almost 18months after the covid upshoot on boat prices before I found and pulled the trigger on a 2016 bay boat that was basically like new, for what felt like a steal. I could and would like to go bigger soon, but can't bring myself to pay the in...
