Passage Prep: The body
Stupid things we’ve done – as in, we really do know better - that increased our seasickness dramatically:
- Carol cut sushi down below when we caught a tuna off the Oregon coast
- I made lasagna with spicy sausage and garlic for our first at sea meal
Starting 48 hours before departure:
- no booze
- minimal caffeine
- minimal fatty foods
- 1 gram of Vitamin C per day
- A 1L bottle of water filled and consumed throughout the day (minimum)
- As much sleep as possible
- Same water plan for each day
- Vitamin C intermittently
- Caffeine and fatty food as the stomach allows. We don’t drink underway anyways.
- Multivitamins every other day (minimum) - kids gummy version initially while tender stomach, big adult version when not
