It's the tablets.

And the lurking spider crabs

Yes, the furtive little buggers.

I particularly enjoy dropping them off the deck of the Scylla and watching them spiral gently down into the depths. I have no way of knowing if this upsets them, but I sincerely hope so.

The patch last for 72 hours, before you need to put a new one on. It stays on even when you are diving. However, if you happen to knock it off, don't use the same one again. Immedaitely put on a new one, cos once it comes off, its not effective.
Well I've never actually been sea sick. I wish I knew why so I could sell my body fluids to drug companies. My ex wife used to though and she was given some scopolamine patches when we did a liveaboard trip and they worked a treat. Wrist bands also work well for some people but it seems what works for one person has no effect on others. QS used to get car sick but forgot her wrist bands on our first date and puked all over my car. Ah happy memories..

Dont go below deck unless you really have too and let your body go with the boat and you should be fine and ginger biccies really do take away the nausea, good luck.
