Driving the boat is the best cure for seasickness. Keeping your eye on the horizon is the key.
Exactly! Just just being on the bridge and aware of the boat's surroundings is a big thing. And definitely no sitting down in an enclosed spot.
Keep your stomach full all the time
Keep your eyes on something that is not moving. It’s the movement that makes you sick. Look at the land masses around you. An old scuba trick when the dive boat is pitching to and fro is to count the tree on the island. Whatever, just focus on the land.
When cruising, we use elastic wristbands that have a small plastic button that presses on the underside of your wrist, where you would take your pulses Once we put them on, we leave them on as they are waterproof. Since we started using them we have never been seasick, even when being chased in the Gulf of Mexico by a hurricane.
The last time I was in the Edmonds dock( Just after the large boat fires many years ago) I (we) was walking on one of the docks looking down into the water...just so happened to see a salmon rocketing underneath/by... then I noticed that salmon was being chased by a Seal... of which, was being chased by a Orca... I knew the salmon knew it was being chased? However, I have always wondered it the Seal realized it was being chased... the whale went by in nothing flat , while the wake was crazy and disrupted the entire marina... something I’ll never forget...
I was in officer training in Victoria many a decade ago. An old salt passing me by while I was hurling my lunch into a bucket on a destroyer gave me this advise: "Young man, eat bananas, they taste just as good coming up as they did going down.
lol
Horizon focus is a must. Always works for my wife and myself. Fresh air also helps even in cool weather.
I enjoyed this one even though nothing spectacular. Liked all the boat and boathouse shots. Nice map at beginning. Relaxing to watch. Your photography and editing gets better all the time. Thanks for sharing.
You are one brave person Elizabeth! I would be hugging “The Deck”
Great job on this video! Editing, drone, camera angles...really entertaining!
This video brought back some memories. As a kid, I loved riding my bike down to the marina area and walking up and down the piers looking at the cool boats! Thanks for the walk down memory lane (and yes, it's changed quite a bit from then...)
I really love your videos, and hope to see many more. So please accept this bit of advice from a retired rescue paramedic: Please, please put on your PFD before you exit the cabin! In the conditions described, one can get knocked overboard in less than one second. And the frigid Puget Sound water is unforgiving. Never once did I do a rescue dive for someone who was wearing a properly fitting PFD! Thanks!
Your a real sport Elizabeth! That Ocean “Motion” sure had me reeling!
One thing that helps my wife is using only one ear plugs. It helps keep your ears from fighting your equilibrium. I just subscribed and it's great to see a mv seems like most are sailing, or people who shouldn't have boats( trying not to sink). Your a great couple,best of luck and have a great time.
oh crap you two... I love what you are doing! I may even have to buy some #Freedom swag... the 43 Nordhavn has always been my dreamboat, now more than ever.
The best way for me is to focus on the fixed point, like land out the window. I keep my head as straight as possible and surf the chop on the boat with my legs. The key is keeping your head stable because what's making you seasick in the constant motion in in your inner ears. Laying down tends to only make it worse.
Shocked at your mention of the Box Car Children, I read those books as a child in the mid 60's and did not think they were around anymore, brought back some great memories.
Greg Koontz ha! Those were classics for us growing up!
Welcome back U2! No quick remedy Liz ! Except stay up on the deck , where you can see the horizon!
Loved the walk around Edmonds as we have a friend that lives there but loved the planes going by. Maybe a weighted blanket for the puppies.
For those of us watching the video, seasickness isn't a problem. Ha
Keep up the good work.
Great video guys 🇬🇧
I love Edmonds one of my Fav cities. Great content guys.
The thing to do to not get seasick is keep a look at the horizon, when you do not see it your body cannot combine the movements. Furthermore
Eat before geeting on the water, then you will have at least something to throw up!
100% agree! 👍🏻
Also if you're closer inshore and you can focus on a land based marker, we found that reduces the effect even more.
Sadly lying on the floor with the lovely dogs is possibly the the worst thing for sea sickness. 😔
Agreed on the food. Throwing up is horrible, but dry heaving is many times worse.
You guys passed my Father-in laws nordhavn in your video leaving port!
Sorry Mr Sully but i'm a big dog person. Sandy is so cute! Love your videos and so looking forward to the beginning of the big adventure!! Will definitely be following it. Thanks for sharing!
Great video I spent a few months sailing around the San Juan islands great area I’m in Sidney now completing a refit this winter
Sea sick tip.. this works for me, when the boat goes up with the waves take a deep breath in, when the boat goes down breath out.. strange but it helped me for two years, travelling from England to France 10 times a month..
We watch your videos almost every night…thanks so much 😎

Glad you got to test the Nord in some blue water! That's what they are made for. Get ready for your trip south, because that weather looked calm in comparison to what you'll experience coming down hill! Regarding sea sickness - it sucks! I still get it occasionally. Great video, as always!
Hi thank you guys for giving me this chance to peep into Pacific Northwest boating scene al the way from Europe. and oh about seasickness. I work allready many years as a commercial mariner, but it took me wellover 10 years at sea to get over it.
Johan van dijk that’s good to know other people also have an ongoing problem with seasickness and it doesn’t always magically disappear with meds. Maybe I’ll try ginger next!
Whoa! Your " good stuff" Elixabeth! I was watching those rolling oceans behind you! Not for the weak of heart!
Love those headsets, we have the same ones for our boat. No more yelling!
This is so weird, once I started watching your videos, I knew your boat looked familiar! I used to live on H dock in Edmond's and took my dinghy out at night for little cruises around the marina and would see MV Freedom all the time lol! So crazy! Love the content!
The " Liz and Shawn Show" how totally cool!
watching the horizon helps elizabeth excellent video nice conversation a boeing fuselage train thank you for sharing
Dramamine makes an all natural (clinical dose of ginger) formula that we love! Absolutely no medication feeling!!
Yeah, know those waters well, and you were getting a pretty good swell, because of the fetch coming down Admiralty Inlet.
I enjoy your videos, and I saw your entry to the Nordhavn Film Festival. When I saw the other vid with the dolphin rescue, I knew everyone else was toast.
Regarding the sea sickness, you can’t look down. You always have to keep your eyes looking out over the horizon. That’s why you’re getting seasick when you’re petting the dog.
My father in law has that Nordhavn on the end you passed at around 1:32 on the end tie! Beautiful boats!
Keeping focus on horizon or distant object. If must be confined space, have fan blowing in your face. More air and longer focus... less seasickness.
Nice Footage Elizabeth!
Cool videos, good editing, and pretty cool special effects too!👍🏻 The Pacific Northwest sure looks nice!!
Start eating ,candied Ginger root before you start your trip. I know it works, and if you like candied ginger root keep eating it during your trip. Make sure it is Ginuwine candied ginger root.
Ginuwine??? ROFLMFAO
Wait did I miss something? You can’t just tease us Elizabeth.....what “big trip”?
Love the train shot of the aircraft fuselages! Always enjoy any aircraft video! Lol😎😎👨✈️👨✈️👨✈️
The "big trip" is they're planning to retire and head to far horizons.
The “final” trip
Never lose sight of the horizon and never lie down inside
You can get patches to wear that help you with Motion sickness also keeping an eye on the horizon will help.
Saw a previous video, about not having children. All I can saw is that I have six and they are my greatest joy. I highly recommend having children. I hope you are really firm in your decision
Not saying how old I am, but I remember seeing RR Train Hobo's taking a ride.
Puppers ready for dry ground ! I had a friend who Jumped on Trains to go downtown partying. Coming back one night they caught a "fast freight" and ended up about 200 miles from home before the train slowed down !
Doc can give you the Scopalomine patch. Works great. Used by delivery sailors for open ocean work.
Standing during rough conditions helps as your legs tend to absorb some of the sway, and rocking as opposed to sitting, or lying down, Also avoid spicy food, or anything that might upset your stomach if you know you'll be going into rough water. Not a sure cure, but better if you're trying to avoid taking seasick dope.
Meditation is key. This is your new joy , your new wheelhouse, so to speak. Tell yourself you need to get by the seasickness and gain your true sea legs. This is where you want to be and waves go with that; inwardly you must accept this, embrace it. From what I see you are fighting it just a bit. Good luck i hope this can work for you. New sub and just catching up on the episodes.
Spreader bars in your fridge and cabinets can help control the movement of stored goods when the boat is rocking and rolling! In the Navy, we used to perform a "secure for sea" routine every time we'd get underway. If it aint tied down or stored, it can become dangerous. On another note, the Pacific Northwest is so beautiful. Looks like Edmonds is nice little place to visit.
Would several custom spring-loaded curtain rods made for cafe curtains cut to length work?
Great video as always, thanks for sharing.
I made best experiences with ginger against seasickness. You can chew small pieces or make a hot ginger infusion (tea) or take even candied ginger. It calms your stomach. Try it 👍
Hi shipmates just started watching your Videos And I'm catching up with them :-) My friend Has a bowl of apples In his boat And eats them for seasickness When he is travelling in the boat. He said it's something to do with the Acid In the apple. He swears by them. Nothing else works he said. It might be worth you having a go :-) Thanks for the videos And I love your Dogs and your boat Cheers
Rodney Goubert welcome and thanks for the tip! We’ve also noticed apples work.
@@mvfreedom you're welcome. Where are you at the moment I'm Only at this video. Don't want to jump to The last one Cheers
Trying to convince my wife to let me get a boat and tour the West Coast. Thanks for the great video.
LET you get a boat??? Let? Let? what's with this "let" business!
Astonishing number of boats.
I used to walk that marina every morning. It's a nice place to be.
Two things C-bands you can get at any pharmacy. They are usually around where the dramine are. Be sure to read the instructions and carefully place the little buttons on the right part of your wrist. Second I have had luck just making sure I can see the horizon. Good luck. It’s no fun being seasick.
Through much experience I have found that sea sickness is the result of the Ears and the eyes not feeling or seeing the same motion. So when you look at the horizon they feel and see the same motion and you are not sick. But if you look down or at something in the cabin your eyes do not feel the same motion that your ears feel. Another trick is if you are wanting to lay down and the ship is rolling, Close your eyes while able to see the horizon and feel your way to the bed and don't ever open your eyes and you will not be sick.
Great town
My suggestion to deal with sea sickness, is to do the hula. Keep your head still and let your body move to the movement of the boat. It works for me. I am hunk it will work for you. Try it. 🐻🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Used to live in Gig Harbor, With my little 32. Made me home sick. Will be watching, Let me know if you visit GH.
Manuel Castro we love Gig and have been there several times this year, always can’t wait to go back!
Loved your movie from the Nordhavn film festival
Mfhairstream thank you!
Spent most of my 71 years out on boats and never got seasick. It looks so cold up there. Down here in Citrus County, Florida we worry about the heat, not the cold. You have some really nice inlets, bays and islands to enjoy and explore (but they are all so cold).
For seasickness try taking B complex and ginger before you go out. Also Midol will help you from throwing up. Also don't eat until you get on the boat as this will help trick your mind. I was in the Oakland Yacht club and went offshore weekly.
Seattle must be one of the most rainy places on earth. It seems always to be an overcast, cloudy gray and rain.... Good to see your great spirit! Remedy of sea-sickness usually is to not have an empty stomach as if your full things will not move inside your stomach that easy (may sound strange, but it is a proven fact). Also have a free sight over the horizon as part of the sickness is information overload when your brain get tons of sensorial info, but you cannot follow it up by your eyesight.
In Belize we cruise inside the barrier reef but every once in a while we head out to open ocean and it gets pretty rough. The locals told me to cut up some fresh ginger. Thin slices about the size of a dime. Put it between your cheek and gums. I was skeptical at first but it worked. On longer passages, after a couple of days, I get used to the motion of the ocean and the seasickness goes away.
Winzie 57 everyone talks about ginger and it seems odd, but I think I need to try it. Thanks!
oxygen from a bottle, a few good deep breaths sets you right even for your pets, wind in your face, that cool breeze helps a lot, ginger candy is good, or a good strong ginger in herbal tea. not having something to do in an active way will focus your mind to your tummy illness. for the dogs they have nothing to focus on so they feel it worse, time to get out a ball and some beefy treats.
S& E: My family fished the Bouy 10 fishery for many years in a small boat. 16', 18' & 21'. We got seasick many times. Taking dramine knocked me out as you are aware. I learned to take a nap and when waking up felt great. You might try ginger beer before heading.out on the water.. I have wondered about trying but so far I. have on. Another tip would be to get lots of fresh air. Get up off the deck. All the best. Edwin (Scott) Howe Now living in Lewiston, Idaho.
I'VE HEARD CHAMOMILE TEA AND GINGER. GOT A GREAT RECIPE FOR GINGER PANCAKES WITH LEMON SYRUP. PROBABLY GET THE CANDIED GINGER AT TRADER JOE'S. NICE VIDEO AND TOUR CAPTAIN AND 1ST MATE.
IF TRADERS HAS THE CANDIED GINGER, THROW A COUPLE PIECES IN YOUR TEA, AND THEN FINISH THEM OFF. COULD GET THE PROVERBIAL TWO BIRDS, JUST SAYIN'.
OMG!.......You've read "The Boxcar Children "??...........I read that almost 55 years ago!........thought I was the only kid to do so......lol
John Berryhill every book!
There is many comments here about looking at the horizon which is a very good thing to do to prevent sea sickness however there is a second often missed action which one must take to prevent seasickness :
When you leave port make sure you're standing up right from the moment the vessel leaves.
If you lay down or are asleep when you leave port then your chance of getting seasickness is heightened.
Be awake and standing up looking at the horizon when you leave port and commence your passage.
I trust this helps some people. Cheers :-)
You must always be able to see the horizon to cure sea sickness
The only time I got seasick was working a winch below deck during a race on a really rough day.
Air across my face and looking out at the water fixed it.
Never crew a boat with the winches below.
Your Boating in the Pacific Northwest in November? Clear sky’s? A bit of wind? You’ve Won... try out chatterbox falls....
Robert Kaindl yes we enjoy boating here year round which is one of the many reasons we love it out here. And luckily this Fall has been really nice so we haven’t had to sport our raincoats yet 👍
In 1982(ish) I sunk a 54’ sailboat by hitting a submerged “Dead Head” above Roach Harbor. I ended up with a stinkpot (opposing sailboat slang) bigger Horizon, and loved it. Out of boating for now... I like your videos and well done.. I’ve been peeking at several videos in the Bahamas’ . Now, that’s diving water... still, the Pacific Northwest is special... boaters paradise and I know your enjoying venturing around... cherish those phosphorus trails....
As an added possible point of interest? The last time I was in the Edmonds dock( Just after the large boat fires many years ago) I (we) was walking on one of the docks looking down into the water...just so happened to see a salmon rocketing underneath/by... then I noticed that salmon was being chased by a Seal... of which, was being chased by a Orca... I knew the salmon knew it was being chased? However, I have always wondered it the Seal realized it was being chased... the whale went by in nothing flat , while the wake was crazy and disrupted the entire marina... something I’ll never forget...
If you are sea sick, chew on raw white cabbage and if You can, fix Your eyes on the horizon.
This is an old trick from my father who was at sea on a sailing ship when he was young (around WWII). Greetings from Sweden!
i'd rather be seasick!
Hey Elizabeth, I’m super sensitive to seasickness also, I puke at the sight of a wave and I run my 30’ fishing boat up and down the Canadian west coast up to Alaska and I’ve puked more times than I would like to admit but I love to fish more.
I’ve tried “watching the horizon” puke, taken “Dramamine” puke or half dead, taken “Bonine” which seem to kind of work but no longer does the trick. Buddy of mine bought the little stretchy black wrist bracelets with red button type thingys on them he said they worked for him, not so much for me, then I was doing more research and found a small watch type bracelet that sends electronic pulses to the part of the brain that has the issue with the motion, I put this bracelet on anytime I start to feel sick and ten minutes later I’m perfectly fine, placebo effect maybe but I don’ care I’m not pukin! It’s a called an EmeTerm, I also use ultrasound gel with to make sure the contact on my wrist is best it can be. Check it out and hope you find some relief, nothing worse or closer to death than being sick on the water.. Good luck and I’d like to know if you found any relief with this..
Safe cruisin!,

hello Liz, Sea sickness is never funny. I am not a big friend of medications for seasickness. so here are my tips. Dogs: If you're planning a trip, feed four small ones instead of one big serving. Then the two do not have that much in their stomach. Human: 1.) be well rested 2.) prevent cold 3.) preferably no alcohol. If you observe these three things it should fit. If things get worse then head to the Pilothouse behind Shawn and look at the horizon.
Sebastian Ruß thanks for those great tips! I think I’m usually lacking on sleep so that needs to be more of a priority!
i loved the part when he was talking to port over the radio .. i learn from stuff like this
muumoo111 take a VHF Radio course. They teach you how to communicate on radios.
@@westonbadke5434 what I found interesting was the info he wanted from the port guy .. what he was concerned about etc .. I don't own a boat .. I would love to .. these kind of stuff are normally not shown ..
muumoo111 it’s a marina and the Captain was asking if there was room for his boat. In the return from the Marina operator, they have to know duration of stay, and length of boat. It’s common sense stuff. It would be like asking for a parking spot for your Cadillac Escalade in a Parkade.
Is the Port of Edmonds operator using a callsign? If so, what is it? I boat in the Great Lakes and haven’t heard a marina or pleasure vessel use a callsign in ages - since the FCC hasn’t required callsigns in years for VHF for vessels meeting certain requirements.
***EDIT***. I finally got it. Callsign is KIZ687 Coastal Group license. Had to look it up. Currently reading about that radio service now. Very interesting. Makes me wonder certain things.
Weston Badke: you made me smile. I take corporate punters around The Solent in UK and we’re constantly on the VHF to Marinas and Harbour Masters.
But... an Escalade! All I know is they are HUGE and designed for Rappers. But a Parakade... that’s well beyond any knowledge I have.
Stare at the horizon!
Have you made a video of what is involved in cleaning the boat up when you pull in to a marina Ive
seen you in the back ground cleaning after docking on a few videos... your boat always looking sharp
charles kimbley no but that’s a good idea. We’ll do that soon, although it can be tricky to capture it all when we’re rushing to get things in order so we can relax and explore!
Look at the horizon and stay in the lower areas of the boat. The higher up you the more rocking you experience
My lady friend finds tomatoes or tomato juice works wonders for keeping away the sea sickness. Also jogging as a whole should help. It gets your eyes use to the up and down of the horizon.
Chris McGann very good suggestions that I haven’t heard of, thank you for sharing!
Hey Elizabeth, if you haven't heard this one yet, focus on looking at the horizon line when you're feeling sea sick. Tricks your brain in to thinking you are stiller than you are. BTW... What big trip????
For seasickness have a Dr prescribe a prescription for Scopace oral, it is no longer manufactured, but a Compounding Pharmacy can do it. Works great and does not cause drowsiness. I fished on a 24' Striper out of Bodega Bay, Ca for 8 years - I rarely needed it - but if it was rough it worked.
Keep your eyes on the horizon and try to stay midship. Less up and down. Fresh air is good. Take ginger tablets or Motion sickness tablets before you start a trip.
@MVfreedom hey, so now that you 2 have done the time, if YoU2 WERE You.. NOW... what would get for a boat if u were gonna live aboard but budgets played?
How many rpms do you normally cruise at? And how many rpms will the engine turn at full power?
keep the dogs near the water line below deck.... The noise is a bit louder but the movement is minimized.
“the big trip”? Tease!
Debbie G yes 2020 is the start of something big!
Dramin makes me sleepy, but Meclin works for me.
Re: seasickness - a sliver of fresh ginger. Worked so well that the folks that ran my fishing trip off Kuyuqot Sound used it.
Ginger nut biscuits works every time and my girl gets sick unless she has them slowly when you start to feel sick,we use the North Sea in the U.K. Scotland or Helm the boat will also take away the sickly feeling
Lol. Humans and kids, I never knew there was a difference.
I use to go below as low in the boat as you can and midship. Less movement there.
If those little waves got you seasick, you're going to have a rough time when you head up to Alaska. And as others have said keeping an eye on the horizon helps a lot.
Landshark 0068 yes we’re working on it. The Relief bands work really well!
Just out of curiosity, what would be a normal month's fuel bill (diesel)?
Hi guys,
How much was it for a night in st Edmonds?
Scopolamine patches 👍🏼
Ginger makes some people almost immune of seasickness without side effects. Tv show Mynthbusters tasted ginger for seasickness and it was much better than any farmacy products .
For seasickness I use one ear plug I only plug one side of my head it works for me
