Is seasickness common?
The British Virgin Islands are a sailing paradise, and therefore the perfect spot for first time yachters in the Caribbean. The BVI are a group of green, mountainous islets that spread over some 40 nautical miles. Together, they form a unique waterway in which to sail in short stages. Navigation is virtually always line-of-sight. Generally, a warm gentle breeze fills the sails as the boat glides over barely wavy waters. The risk of seasickness is limited. Just in case, we recommend you pack some Gravol tablets (ginger flavoured if you wish to offset any side effects) or some Transderm V (scopolamine applied behind the ear). It is imperative that you consult your doctor or pharmacist for any side effects you may suffer.
