I'll soon be a grad student in oceanography and am inspired by what you two have done and are doing and would ideally like to follow in your footsteps! Any advice would be appreciated.

I was not sure if that was a real helper or if it was just Eric, sensing my abandon of nutrition, getting the maximum sugar he could muster out of The Cook. Have you just left St Helena? Are we going to cross paths w you in French Guiana? I remember your comment while we were in Patagonia and it would be great to share an anchorage sometime.

We use them when driving long distances, it seems to help our kids pass the time. The Tripp Diaries kept us all amused (9&5 year old) on our last 2000km drive. <br />CheersFore and Aft Surveyorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01526690542138638706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903828557671115365.post-45246354557233199192016-07-26T06:36:09.605+10:002016-07-26T06:36:09.605+10:00As a former cruising kid that also got seasick (an...As a former cruising kid that also got seasick (and as an adult who STILL gets seasick!), I feel for the poor little guy. Turns out my two kids inherited this from me. :-( They've also been known to get carsick, so I guess it's no surprise. Lollipops seem to help with this. Also, salty chips and ginger ale. Basically, things they don't get at any other time, lol! Other things, that aren't quite so lacking in nutrition: peanuts, bars (bought or homemade). Hope that helps! I admire that he can still draw while being seasick. I found that I had to keep my head perfectly immobile to control the nausea. No reading, and definitely no school work. I hope you enjoy your next landfall.

I don't think it would be appropriate for an infant or toddler, but now that Eric is age-6 it is a good consideration in case his perscription runs out. Wonderful to know that it is working for your queasy kid!
