Your best bet is out on deck getting lots of fresh air, but that only helps a little. When it is rough seas, most people are bound to get sea sick, and it is such a horrible feeling. You DON'T want to go lay down below decks even though you really do want to do that. It just exacerbates the symptoms. Especially the smell of diesel.

I went on an all day fishing charters with a friend and one of my wifes cousins.... Unfortunately for her, she didn't take sea sickness pills until she was on the boat. She started to get sick as soon as we left the harbor. Meanwhile, my friend and I start pounding beers as soon as we got on board (and before that). We could tell it was going to be rough when we were leaving the harbor but once we reached a few miles off coast we were in 10-15 ft swells all day. We didn't catch much that day but we did have a good time getting loaded while commiserating with our sick companion. I felt fine the entire day,,,,,right up to the point I took my first step on dry land.... I didn't feel nauseous or anything, just like I weighed 2 tons.... For the next week I kept having these twinges of vertigo with the feeling that I was falling..... I don't get motion sickness easily thank goodness.
