Sue... the operative words are "medicine you don't need"... maybe for you...
but for someone who gets seasick... it's something you desperately need.
Sisker's right. Bring the Bonine.
And... you can take it as soon as you feel some motion symptoms... long
before you get sick. That may solve the problem. Sure it's best to have it
already in your blood stream.. but better to take it later, than not have it
at all.
To be totally honest... 7 ft waves off North Carolina could be very
different from 25 ft. waves for 10-20 hours pounding a ship, like we had on
Zenith when we sailed through a NorEaster for well over half a day.
