I am definitely a fan of Bonine.... but I take it differently than many
folks do. I tend to need to take one tablet per day starting three days
before I go out and then two on the day before I go out and one that
morning. If I do this routine then I do get any indication of seasickness.
If I vary this at all, then I am assured to get sick. One interesting aspect
of my routine is that normally, If i get any indication that someone else is
sick and must feed the fish then I most definitely will too, unless I follow
my above routine.... as long as I don't deviate then I can stand right next
to while you feed the fish and not be bothered.......

Methinks that this might be partially in me noggin', but even if this is the
case, I'll continue to be doin' this! :-)
