Drake: For Mo's Sea Sickness!!

Hi Drake:

My wife and I have been following your and Mo's adventures with great interest. Thank you for sharing them with us. I note that Mo gets sea sick a lot. May I suggest that she try Stugeron 15. This product is sold in Commonwealth countries in drug stores and was originally developed for pregnant women's morning sickness. The "15" product is for motion sickness of all kinds. It appears to have no side affects. My wife, who has a tendency to suffer from sea sickness, takes it before we go off with great success. Additionally it is on many of the boats in the Newport-Bermuda Race every two years. I have been fortunate not to have suffered from sea sickness, but having said that, both I and off shore crew all take Sturgeron 15 prophetically when big weather just starts to come up. As with all products of this nature, it is advisable to take it on land to be sure that one does not have any side effects for you before using it off shore. It has been a life changer for many. (I have no interest in or involvement with the company that makes it. I just always pass this on to sailors who worry about sea sickness.)

Regards,
Ron
