I've noticed the last couple of times I have been out canoeing an the water is the slightest bit rough, once I get back on land I feel like I'm swaying which makes me feel really sick and light headed.
The first time I noticed this was after a weeks holiday on the Norfolk Broads on a 45ft cruiser, which we were on all week, it then took me the best part of a week to stop the feeling ill.
After paddling on Bala Lake at the end of April meet, I started to notice it, Is there anything I can do to stop it or just live with it.
I get exactly the same feeling,not so much feeling sick but still feeling the waves for hours after,I can be sat at the computer and feel as if my ass is still going from side to side.Cant help with the sicky feeling tho',maybe you'll just get used to it.
Same hear only when iv'e been in the sea kayak for a couple of hours, i know people who take stugeron tablets to prevent feeling sick

Not so much feeling ill, but I still experience the feeling the swaying especially after long periods of being out on the water, even now after years of boating.
Well Mrs R time for a confession
I do know what your going on about, when I was a kid I remember sat on that pier at lake bank on Coniston after a hard days rough sailing and the whole thing was going up and down, and on the broads after a week I did have slight sensation of "land sickness". but with the canoes I don't seem to suffer. I would say you need to get use to it
and canoe more.
Wait until we get in a blow and I put the sail up that should cure you
Try and avoid looking at that husband of yours, should stop the sickly feeling instantly.

my boy beats me to it again
Try adding a bit more mixer to the drink
Seriously it is a form of travel/sea sickness, I sometimes get it if I have been on a big boat that rolls a lot, hit the land and you are still compensating for the swell, you can take something like Quells or use one of those travel sickness bands, but chances are you will get used to it pretty quick
Hello Tracy,
The best advice I ever got to prevent sea sickness was to take a Kwell tablet with a drink of Coke Cola. I'm not sure why this works, but my mother and I tried it some years ago during a ferry crossing to Norway. A rough crossing was forecast, we took Kwell and Coke Cola as advised and were both fine. Others were a very unpleasant shade of green.
Worth a try.

Thanks everyone, I thought perhaps it was just me

After 10 years service in the Royal Navy, the best advice I can give to combat sea sickness is

I must be one of the lucky few who don't suffer from motion sickness regardless of how rough it get. I remember one ferry crossing to the IofW it was blowing an f7 to f8 & I was drinking tea whilst most of the other passenger where outside looking a bit worst for ware, as for the tea, I didn't spill a drop.
