Some folks have a problem with it;
others don’t. Lot’s of folks claim to have
a remedy, however —everything from a spoonful of pancake syrup, to an earplug in the left ear only, have been passed around as ways to combat it. The best advice is to take precautions beforehand
if you think you are susceptible to motion sickness. Once it gets you, it’s got you. It’s too late at that point to avoid it, or
to cure it, without going back to shore. There are many over the counter options, from Dramamine to the Transderm patch. Whatever option you choose, if this is an issue for you, do it in advance, often starting the evening before your trip. Also, keeping your eyes on the steady horizon and breathing fresh air (instead
of heading inside for the cabin) will often reduce the effects.
For those of us fortunate to live on, or to visit this beautiful Florida coastline, there are unlimited recreational options available for young and old alike. Don’t shortchange yourself by failing to experience one of Florida’s oldest and most exciting recreational opportunities. Get out on the water and enjoy the sport that Hemingway loved. At the least, you’ll take home a lifetime of memories. At best, you might just get hooked.
