A special note on seasickness:
YOU are the motor, and a seasick motor is a non-paddling motor. If you
have been subject to seasickness before, it is likely you will be
again. Please take precautions.
We recommend a minimum dose of any over-the-counter
medication the night before and again the morning of the trip, or a
Scopolamine patch, which requires a doctor's prescription,
along with a decent breakfast. Avoid greasy foods and lots of coffee. A
good night's sleep and limited alcohol intake the night before is wise.
Summary
- 8.5 mile coastline one way
