  1. Hi,

    I spent 25 years of my life racing ocean going yachts in all parts of the globe including Sydney _ Hobart, the Fastnet Race and was once caught in a typhoon in the China Sea Race in 1982. After the 79 Fastnet race in which 15 sailors (some jumped into the sea in desparation from seasickness) and 3 rescuers lost their life see:-

    The subsequent Royal commission found that the most effective sea sick tablet by far is Stugeron. I have taken them whilst sailing on a maxi yacht across the Pacific and became the last man standing.

    I am not sure if these tablets are availabe across the counter in the USA but they are available online from the UK. I can assure you they work and are very effective provided they are taken before the onset of seasickness.

  2. Hi Karen, Just another Australian who lived in Kirribilli for 20 years and now I live in Brisbane. I read you are part of a group of 6 Australians who will be joining us on the Koningsdam. Is that correct? Rich (0bnxshs) the spreadsheet originator with myself as co-editor regarding this cruise contains a wealth of information. See
