We use OTC Chewable Bonine-You should be able to get it CVS,Walgreens,ETC as compared to Dramamine.Hi Chris,
Welcome to our awesome little group. It sounds like you have an exciting retirement planned. Sailing is one of the best adventures you could choose.
You sound like you have thought things through and are making some good choices already. Hey, you joined SBO, point made.
As far as your immediate question, I'm sorry, I have little to offer. Bring some Dramamine or Scopolamine, but I would think the ASA course would cover all things sailing specific.
If you have a favored PFD, bring that
