My daughter and I spend over 3 weeks birding in sub-antarctic waters. Most
people swear by the patches and they helped everybody on the ship who had a
problem except my daughter. The side effect is a very dry mouth. I think
they are still unobtainable in Australia but you can certainly buy them
without prescription in both NZ and the US. My daughter was violently ill
for the first 5 days but then she managed OK after we had a full day ashore
on Enderby Island where she could hold down special tablets that the Dr on
board provided and was pretty good after that. She gets seasick on the
ferry platoon at Circular Quay in Sydney. Those tablets are also
unavailable in Australia and NZ but they can be bought in the UK. If anyone
is interested I can get the details from her. And yes it can be very rough
in subantartic waters - you can never use both hands at once unless you are
securely seated - always need one hand for the ship.
Cheers,
Fiona
