I was reading a recent article in the Washington Post written by a NASA 
doctor doing motion sickness research.  These are some of the points she made:

Dramimine, ear patches, etc. work for some people, some of the time.  The 
best advice about these is to take as little as possible.

The wrist bands need to be applied very accurately.  If you try them, be sure 
to find out exactly where on your wrist to place them, as they do need to be 
over pressure points.

Try the ginger - it can't hurt.

For the future - the only known remedy for those who are extremely sensitive 
to motion sickness is a bio-feedback program currently under testing at NASA. 
 It may be available to the general public within a year and will involve 
training of a day? or two?

Could be expensive, but if you love pelagics and want a real remedy, this 
sounds like it holds real promise.
