What if a participant becomes seasick?
Participants rarely become ill due to the shorter duration of the Daysail. However, if a participant is prone to motion sickness, we do recommend that you take precautions in advance with appropriate medications or other over-the-counter treatment options. There are also ways to mitigate symptoms. Drink plenty of fluids and avoid an empty stomach with small snacks (avoid greasy foods). Ginger Ale or ginger tablets are sometimes effective as well. You may want to select a focus point on the horizon and in all situations, avoid going below deck since being inside the boat will exacerbate the motion sickness. If all else fails, lean over the side out of the wind. Sometimes the nausea is alleviated after purging.
