I’m going on a whale watch with my 6 year old tomorrow. I’m a seasoned sailor and not worried about sea sickness for myself but I recognize that she’s a little untested in this department (though flies and drives just fine, no motion sickness to report) so I want to be prepared. Apart from having a lot of water and snacks (saltines) and a hearty, familiar breakfast, what should I be bringing along for her? I don’t see her eating ginger – I mean I can try but I doubt she’ll enjoy the taste. Any recs? They do have a full snack bar and beverage bar on board so we’ll have some options available if all else fails.
