The only thing I would like to mention here is that many of these drugs have side effects and interactions with other drugs.
I am not sure if it was this list or some other sailing forum, where I read a discussion on some ill effects of taking certain sea-sickness drugs without consulting with a doctor. Some of the reports were a bit scary. This is half bad if you get hit by some of the interactions, but you are just a crew; much worse if you are the skipper (or you are single handling). I guess this is getting more important as many of us are getting “wiser” (read: older) and we start taking certain drugs on a regular basis (high pressure, cholesterol, etc.).

Thanks for that link Rick, I didn’t realise you could game the system like that, the last time I tried that it didn’t work. Maybe it is because, as someone mentioned, that they actually source it out of UK. Interesting. One other note, even tho I want the Sturgeron for variety, I regularly use Scopace, which is the pill form of Scopaline. It is good for around 8 hrs, instead of 3 days, and less side effects. I had my doc at the time write a scrip for a bunch of them, and I regularly give them to crew who I know or suspect may be at risk, and have never had an incident with the Scopace. It also gives you cotton mouth, but it diminishes after a couple hours. Besides, it makes me drink more water, which I need anyway. Bill Coleman C&C 39
