Seasick Tablets Recommended (1 Viewer)

[DBK]

The western and central Channel and down to the Bay of Biscay have gale warnings today, possibly up storm force 10. Rough crossings to Ireland too.
Assuming the ferries aren't cancelled of course.

Stugeron. No other make touches them. I used to use them in my sailing days. The thing is you need to take them in good time. So that they are already in your system when the weather starts. Its no good waiting until you feed sick.

John ... Buchastem tablets double quick. You placd them between gums and cheek. Everything else will 'come up' with your food so waste of time.

Happy journey.

Another vote for Stugeron (which is Cinnarizine) served us well in Force 12 around Cape Horn.
Agree about taking them early at least 2 hrs.

Stugeron

At last, someone has found a use for little Nicola.

Another vote for Stugeron. Worked well for me on the same crossing

We're currently on an Aire opposite Mont St Michel saying a prayer for tomorrows sailing to Plymouth.
It's the only ferry out of St Malo for yonks and I don't fancy a drive to any of the other ports on the the North France coast.

Hi.
Another "Sturgeron " User. It REALLY does work.As i posted before on another thread,i was recommended it by a Sea Kyaka,thought "Oh yes", then while talking to a mate,his Dr. had given him "Sturgeron" for dizzy spells.
So armed with this information,bought and took the pills as instructed,walked the then Growler up and down the area while the deck was coming up and hiiting your nose,took her back to the cabin,went back to the restaurant on the top deck and ate a big bowl full of stew,with no bad effects...sorted.
Get 'em bought!

Well, thanks for the recommendations for sea sickness tablets. Sadly though, we are not on a ferry until April but I suspect those who are sailing in the next 24 hours might want to take note.

What, place between cheeks? Or something like that...

When I sailed on the Jubilee Sailing Trust tall ships they also recommended Stugeron.

I've mentioned my Big One before, ferry to Stavanger, rough. Half way through the night, when I could not hold on to the toilet any more and I was a total wreck I struggled down to reception and asked if they had anything to put an end to me, NOW.

Pleasant Scandinavian girl does in the back and comes back with a packet, "it is too late for a pill, you must not put this in your mouth, do you understand ?". I nodded. I went away ad did not put it in my mouth, in fact I would never have swallowed it. Half an hour later I was a new man, ready to party even in the middle of the night.

On the return I took a pill nice and early and survived.

No wonder they cancelled that ferry from Newcastle to Stavanger.

Plenty of other uses

Only if you are French

 

[MR. FUSION]

Used sturgeon for years when I was a scuba diver, best to take the first one 8 hours before boating to get it in your system was the advice.

Brian ..bit confused .. was it one of those bracelets?

 

[robnchris]

Fresh ginger before you board the boat and then ginger biscuits enroute.

Do not hide away below decks this will only make you feel worse.

Felt like it.

Interesting how this thread has gone off at a tangent. It was meant to be a comment on the high winds expected soon and the title was just a lighthearted dig at any poor souls who might be afloat on say the Bay of Biscay tonight. "Seasick Tablets Recommended" seems to have been read as "Seasick Tablet Recommendations"
But thanks for all those who have recommended Stugaron, I shall buy some for our April crossing.

Look on the bright side, if taken as intended you might have netted a single but instead you are the father of a healthy 20 pounder.

But he STILL hasn't listened to the woman .. Stugaron vomit back up .. Buchastem don't ... and I STILL don't know what the stewardess gave YOU.

I tell you, even the SNP propaganda spell checker turned stugeron into sturgeon! !!

None of which are any good if the crossing is extremely rough & your wife has also given you all food poisoning.

My first trip to sea was from London first stop Cape Town. I started being sick as we left the Thames estuary and it finally stopped a week later somewhere around the equator. Never felt so bad in my life. Since then I have been in some horrendous seas on both large and small boats, never ever felt sick again.
Just let it happen, you know it makes sense.....

Hi Buttons, you obviously have experience sailing on the high seas and I can relate to what you say, in my experience some people are just sea (motion) sick and some are not, the brain plays a big part in the illness.
Having sailed all round the planet on various racing sailing yachts I have seen veteran sailors being sick in the calmness of seas but a swell will always bring out the worst in people.
I am just the worst person to sail with being the one who never suffers and can be found down below cooking bacon and sausage rolls for everyone whatever the sea state, though years of sailing has taught me Ginger is a perfect natural remedy.

Years of sailing taught me that the best remedy was to lie down - if that was under an apple tree, so much the better.
