Re: [Paddlewise] Towing, seasick

Added note for DIY tow rigs:  the surplus stores around here have been selling
a braided polypro over nylon floating line in 3/16" (4mm?) which seem about
right for towing, and the bouyancy is sufficient to  float an aluminum
'biner.  I'm soon switching to a smaller stainless steel snaphook-not sure
if that will float.

My girlfriend is prone to sea-sickness, and has had good results with the
new, less-drowsiness formula Dramamine (which we couldn't find in Canada).
That was in rather light swell, though she gets sick pretty easily.  Has
anyone had a failure of this stuff in severe tests??
