Greg N- Just returned from AC 2/9, weather was variable, both calm and windy days. Deep sea fishing was out of the question on those windy days, but we had two good days and went over the reef. This is our 8th trip, during all of our trips, we have always been able to fish inside the reef, regardless of weather. We caught several nice size barracuda (15-20 lbs), horse eyed jacks (20 lbs), and several red and mutton snappers (12-15 lbs). Caught many other species, too many to count. Had a fabulous time! We did not snorkel this time, but there were several days where snorkling was good. Divers continued on all days, even when the wind was blowing hard. Hope this helps you out. You can always count on a wonderful trip to AC, regardless of weather. Trip report and pix to follow-still trying to figure out how to post our pix. TIMO

Seeing if we need some dramamine for the adventures. Bonine is great stuff, it is over the counter. It's in a chewable form. for an adult most people take 4 pills. It can get a little hairy out there in the outside or the blue waters while trolling. However it can be worthwhile.

Don't eat any heavy and/or greasy brekkies. Bring/eat some ginger snap cookies or go to Beachy's place and get some real ginger. Eat some ginger before and while heading out on the boat. Also, keep your eye on the horizon and not on the up and down of the sea. Do eat (some say don't eat at all) but just have something like a pear and a piece of cheese (and a ginger snap). 
A fish and a bird can fall in love, but where will they build their nest?

I will be wearing a patch. Put one on and for 72 hours just forget about it. I'm a sailor and have been boating for 35 years and still get queasy. I even got seasick while snorkeling last time in Belize. Perhaps the patch works best for someone on a boat 24 hours a day, but I hate taking pills and sometimes forget until it's too late. Just one more idea.
