Most people are going to tell you that you will indeed get your sea legs in
about 3 days; but that just is not necessarily true. And the popular
recommendation of ginger does nothing for me except cause heartburn.
We did many 2-week trips in years past where I was sick the entire time.
Using Scopalimine patches helped a lot but had all the yucky side effects.
Tried not replacing with a new patch after 12 days at sea & was then really
seasick within 12 hours of being "patch free."
HOWEVER, eventually one does become acclimated and the seasickness
disappears and medication is no longer needed most of the time.
BTW, I have never felt seasick while at the helm. YMMV.

Becoming seasick is a reality for me. I have never sailed for longer
than a few days of which I was sick most of the time. Had 3-5 feet
plus. If I had stayed aboard longer, 38' Hunter, would it finally go
away? Three days, Four days.?
Also, if I used a prescription medication (Scopace or other), would
it reduce or even eliminate the symptoms until I got my sea
legs/equalized my inner ear?
Many thanks, John in TX
