Glad the trip went well-my info may be old about the patch, but that is what I read somewhere.
I am giving it a try in July-leaving out of South Padre.
I haven't gone out there in close to 40 years, maybe I won't be affected as badly this time. I'll practice one more time with the scopolomine at home, but it didn't seem to make me drowsy.
I wonder how many I should take for the actual trip-10, 20?

Went on a bachelor party last fall in Cancun. We got a private boat and I was hungover and tired from the night before. I took my dramamine on the way there, not smart.
We were a few miles out and I started feeling bad. Ended up yakking 5 different times on the trip. I also felt super tired and ended up laying down in the shade for most of the trip. I did catch 2 amberjacks that kicked like anything. The skippers offered us beer and not one of us drank any. One other guy yakked but by far I was doing it the most. One of my friends I could tell that he was ready to yak and it wouldn't take me much to get him over the top but out of kindness I didn't provoke him.
I would never do it on a bachelor party again though b/c drinking was assumed. If I were to do it, I would use the patch likely as well as not drink the night before at all.
And yes, at one point as I was puking out of the side of the boat, I thought "if I fall, I don't know if i want to swim...."

There is one thing I did notice though. I took the patch off as soon as I got into the shower when we got back to the condo. As we were out for dinner, I started to feel like I was swaying and got pretty dizzy as did my other friend who took off her patch.
So I’d recommend keeping it on a bit longer for anyone who gets really motion sickness. We wanted to start drinking so that’s the reason we took our patches off. I guess it was a fair tradeoff.
Accuratehorn, good luck on your trip. Sorry I can’t help much with the scopolamine, but maybe someone on here knows more about it.
