Wait, you found me how, exactly?

One of the best search keywords that has ever shown up on my statistics page is there now. "pronetovomit boat".

I'm pretty sure I get what this person was going for, but I'm not at all sure how that search got them to this blog. Also it's fun to think that pronetovomit is the name of the ship, or that it is the boat that does the vomiting in this scenario. Or that someone got REALLY weird and was looking for puke porn featuring some one named Eto. Lots of interpretation possibilities, I'm saying.

Now that I know that someone is looking for this stuff, I feel compelled to address the information need. If you are prone to vomiting on boats:
  • On a smaller boat, sit near the back/stern. Less choppy back there, generally. I love being as far in the front as I can, but one day I got pretty green around the gills sitting on the bow and my uncle, a captain, told me to sit at the back for a few minutes. Nothing changed about our speed or the water conditions, but I felt better almost right away.
  • Ginger up. Ginger candy, ginger snaps, ginger ale, hug a ginger... Whatever you can get to.
  • Don't be proud when it comes to Dramamine/dimenhydrinate. That stuff is around to be mocked because it WORKS.

Happy and cookie-tossless times on a boat to you and yours!
