    Get really pissed, really quick, pass out and then no problems.

    Be careful of chemical remedies if you're drinking.

    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.

    Hate to admit I dont suffer sea sickness at all, advice to you, stay in the fresh air........and keep looking out towards the horizon to minimise the rolling motion that happens in your ears, the horizon is a long way off so the roll seems less? somehow...good luck........failing everything else take drugs!!

    Its a mind fuck on your head that makes you sick.

    If you can keep an eye on a horizon that will help heaps.

    Dont go and sit in the engine room in a pool of fuel..... the heat and the smell will get you rather quickly......

    I HAVE THE CORRECT ANSWER!!! ..thanks to a mythbusters episode a while back..

    Ginger tablets.. just go to the pharmacy and ask for a bottle.. it's the best thing to do, and Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage off Mythbusters recommend it highly..

    Ginger is apparently good for seasickness... So have to agree with ZeroIndex on that one...

    I work with boaties.. Have done for the past year... Depending on the size of the boat... And how its built you may not get sick... Some boats roll more than others.... Based on their design... Or something like that anyway.. Had it explained to me.....Hence you will get sick in some boats.. and not in others... If its a fairly large boat your going on you more than likely have nothing much to worry bout...

    I do get seasick REAL BAD... And am expected to go marlin fishing this year.. Don't know how I'll manage it.. But from experience... Make sure you eat alot... Better to go out after a good nights sleep.. And good feed...Just helps ease your stomach...

    Keep an eye on the horizon.. Depending on wether your trip is during the day or during the night depends on wether this is possible... Just keep in the fresh air and cool as much as you can... Keep away from fuel fumes... And keep yourself occupied... Keeping busy means you don't have the time to think about actually feeling sick...

    All else fails... Sleep through the trip... Last marlin fishing trip I did I slept til we docked...

    Booze always works for me.

    Oh, and stay near the center of the boat - that bit moves less then the rest.

    Stay near the center and low down (not up on the bridge etc....)

    Is it in Wellington?

    If so they generally cruise the inner harbour in shelter.

    Find a tree and sit under it...

    (have photo's of me hanging under the boom in a bassinet @ 5 days old. Consequently I do not suffer form seasickness. Gotta love rough weather!)

    Definitely agree with the eyes on the horizon and the fresh air and the center of boat things, can imagine that ginger would be a good plan and keeping occupied. Cabin bread is good too!

    Been fishing a bit myself, and suffer from sea sickness. All I can suggest is if you feel sick, make sure you eat! Even if you keep bringing it up, a full stomach and you will come right. Sea sickness is alot like morning sickness.. you want to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been there, done that!

    Buy some "sealegs" from the chemist and use them , keep in the fresh air, watch the horizon, don't drink too much alcohol, and avoid the top deck and being enclosed down below if there is much of a swell or chop.
    Haven't tried the ginger before, might try it next time myself.
    Good luck
