My Partner Always Gets Seasick but Wants to Keep Coming Along — Sabrina

We entertain guests on my boat all the time. Lake George is beautiful and mostly calm, but my new boyfriend chums the water every time. I feel bad, but it makes us look like amateurs.

Eating snapper before sailing can solve it. Give him a piece and that might fix it.

Steam curls from her loins like morning fog above the water,
Her coral skin glistening, a tide’s full ebb.
Each quivering moment like the sea itself, now lifting, now falling.
Were I to drop into that abyss, I would rise up again, refreshed.
Every dive, the day’s noise slips quietly into the deep—
and I am anchored, breathing with the sea’s slow heart.

Um, I meant the fish Byron. But that might work.

There are a couple of ways to help seasickness. You can take over-the-counter medications like Dramamine or Bonine. For many people, this works.

There are natural remedies too but these will help to varying degrees. Some of these are:
Ginger: Studies have shown that ginger can be effective. You can consume ginger in various forms, such as ginger tea, ginger ale, or ginger candies.
Acupressure Bands: These bands apply pressure to the P6 point on your wrist, which can help alleviate nausea. You can get these at many drugstores.
Peppermint: Inhaling peppermint essential oil or drinking peppermint tea can help reduce nausea.

And don’t forget about behavioral strategies:
Where You Sit: Sitting on the flybridge of a swaying boat can surely make your head swirl. Stay low in the boat and the rocking won’t be as bad.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol or caffeine, which can worsen symptoms.
Eat Lightly: Consuming small, bland snacks can help settle your stomach. Avoid heavy, greasy, or spicy foods before and during your trip.
Rest: See that you get enough sleep before traveling, as fatigue can exacerbate seasickness.
Avoid Stuffy Spaces: Stay in well-ventilated areas and avoid tight, enclosed spaces if you start feeling queasy.

Combining these remedies and strategies can go a long way to helping seasickness, saving your friends from projectile vomit.
