I too am a dedicated chummer. Just looking at a glass a water is enough to set me off.
I tried everything with little sucess until I tried the patch. The patch is a 72 hour dose that costs about $5 per. This was overkill for a day boat, but still better than the alternative. Then I found Scopace - Oral Scopolamine. This is an 8-hour dose taken one hour prior to boating. The recommendation is for two tablets per dose, so someone who is sensitive to scopolamine can easily take a half dose. I got 30 tablets for about $15. It not only works as well as the patch for me, it seems to cause less of the typical scopolamine symptoms of cotton mouth, etc. Now I look forward to rough rides!
The product is so new that I could only get it through the web. The url is http://scopace.com
