We know that YOU
never get seasick, but we understand you may have
a "friend" that does. While the waters
around Cabo San Lucas are usually very calm, moderate
swells do roll in from time to time. Some people
claim that seasickness is "all in your head".
Well for anyone that's been doubled over the rail
of the boat that's about the last thing you want
to hear. We've had first-time ten-year-old anglers
spend a day in 8 foot swells without a problem and
Navy Veterans that fed the fish the whole trip while
the water was as flat as a lake.
Here are a few tips to help ensure
a comfortable adventure:
1) While quality
charters provide breakfast for you on the boat,
some experts say having a bagel or some toast in
your stomach before you get on board can help. Try
the San Francisco Coffee Company next to the RedRum
Sportfishing office.
2)
Dramamine is a great motion sickness drug you can
take the night before you go fishing and then again
in the morning. If you plan well in advance you
can ask your Doctor for a Transderm-Scopolamine
patch. The Scop patch is about
the size of a penny and is worn behind the ear.
We have never seen anyone get sick while wearing
"the patch."
3) ReliefBands, are
small wristbands, that are worn to help fight seasickness
as well. Worn a few inches above the wrist, these
bands are said to target the Nei-kuan pressure point
which some believe can cure even the worst case
of seasickness.
4) New studies have
also shown that ginger root can also help stop that
queasiness. Ginger root capsules can be taken the
night before a trip or bring along a few ginger
snap cookies onto the boat. We want your next trip
to be a smooth one.
