Chumming; how do you keep from Puking yer guts on the Big Blue?

I sometimes have the reverse problem.  While on the water I am fine.  After I haul out and get home, it still feels like I'm on the water with a mild vertigo.  Sometimes for the entire next day.  Anyone else get this?

Every time I spend all day on the water.

Word of wisdom- Don't close your eyes in the after paddling shower when you wash your hair.
I've fallen twice.

I get it when I'm on a big boat (>40') but never on anything smaller regardless of the seas.

Only time I ever felt like I was going to boot was in a power boat when my girlfriend was booting every 10 seconds. Diesel fumes + thinking about barfing made me want to barf. I never did, but I had to drink a 7-up and focus on fishing....

Apparently I get contagious sea sickness, but not on my own.

Never felt nausea from kayaking, but It definitely takes me a while to get my land legs back. I still feel like I'm on the water for hours after & shower increases that feeling.

When I did allot of river fishing from the bank I would get vertigo from watching the current all day. I'd look up at the tree line and it would spin and slip off into the distance.....wah wha wha wha wha.

On the salt water kayak trips I guide, I always take a huge bag of crystallized ginger. it seems to work for me and everyone I've given it to, but I think 90% of motions sickness remedies are placebo effect.

Dehydration can exasperate sea sickness, as can too much coffee and not enough food, tension/nervousness, thinking about getting sea sick/barfing etc.

The only time I ever actually booted was from nerves and anxiety over conditions rather than actual sea sickness....I was standing on the beach looking at the sh*t storm I had to go through, got nervous, puked, then paddle out through it! LOL

.....huge bag of crystallized ginger.

That stuff alone makes me sick. 

Well, I don't know what to tell ya, that's my best cure

It works for curing/preventing sea sickness, no doubt about it. From my experience, it's the only thing that works.

The only time I ever felt sick (see above GF booting story), I had taken dramamine starting the day before and it didn't help either one of us.

I've also worn little patches behind my ear lobe that didn't do a thing.

It probably would be my go to remedy if I didn't screw it up the first trip out with a shot of Non Drowsy Drem that nearly put me to sleep.  Got sleepy and then got queasy.  Ginger was fine going down, it's the coming back up that really keeps me from being able to snack on it ever again.  Nasty nasty flavor coming back up.

Me too.  A few hours on the water in a kayak and I don't get my land legs back for hours.  Interestingly, I do have a rather sensitive middle ear, and sitting side-wise on a bus or trying to read in a vehicle will quickly turn my stomach.   But, I don't get motion sickness from a boat, airliner, nor small plane, and I don't lose my land legs in those situations.   Weird.

OK. I can relate. I didn't eat pot roast for 25 years or drink Bacardi 151 for 18y....and I'm 33.

On a related note I've noticed fritos & gatorade taste exactly the same on the way up. Use that little wisdom nugget how you please.
