I haven't been motion sick while kayaking, but then I'm a newbie and have been staying close to shore in protected waters and not going out in too much of a wind until I improve my skills. That said, when I used to travel alot on business, I found that I got motion sick about every third time I flew. Not good. I bought some accupressure bands -- they look like very small sweatbands, but have a small plastic bump on the inside that you place on the inside of your wrist, about an inch from your hand. They're available at most luggage stores, and I've bought them at airports when I've forgotten mine. They work. And they don't make me sleepy like dramamine, etc. There might be a downside to them, though. I knit quite alot, and when I have the bands on my wrists get a bit stiff from all the repetitive motion. This might happen while paddeling as well, particularly if using a feathered paddle. (I hope this doesn't start the great feathered vs. unfeathered debate again!) -Michelle *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Sep 10 1999 - 04:23:57 PDT
