Gone Fishing

Fishing. It’s simple for some people. Hop in a boat and head toward open water. It’s not so simple for those who suffer from seasickness. Going on a boat can bring on feelings of  nausea, retching, and even vomiting. Guess what? Reliefband® treats those nasty symptoms. That’s right, you no longer need to be the one left on the dock. It’s time to join your friends and do more than just cut bait. Now that you have the seasickness sorted, you need to do a few other things before you start hauling in fish. In addition to your Reliefband® and the actual gear (rod, reel, etc.) needed to catch the fish, you’ll want a life jacket, sunscreen, food, potable water, a cooler with ice in it to pack out the fish you catch, a first aid kit, bug spray, sunglasses, and don’t forget to zip your keys into a pocket or clip them to your belt loop. Nothing is as sad as a loaded key ring drifting out of sight beneath the water. If you’re fishing on the boat, you may need to have a license, if legally required. These days, you can usually order one online. Be aware that, depending on what type of fish you’re going after, you may need more than one license or permit. One other thing—anything you want to keep dry should be placed in a waterproof bag. Soggy sandwiches and runny maps are funny only when they happen to the other guy. Do you have tips for prepping for a fishing trip? Please share them in the comments for everyone to read. Have fun out there!

Boating Season

It’s boating season — time to test for leaks and spruce up the brightwork! If you’re shaking your head because you know that you’ll be hanging over the side, losing your breakfast shortly after boarding, we hear you. Reliefband® on your wrist controls the nausea, retching, and vomiting of seasickness. You turn it on and adjust the power setting to fit your needs, and you’ll be buying boat shoes in no time. This is how it works: the Reliefband sends out gentle pulses to the median nerve on the underside of your wrist. These pulses send signals to the nausea center in your brain. Those signals then modulate the body’s natural neural pathways between the brain and stomach. This blocks the sensation of nausea. Take control of your life, and hit the open waters. It doesn’t matter what type of boat you choose, just go! Canoes are fun (and tippy), sailboats come in all sizes and are the romantics of the sea, and powerboats can have you on top of the waves before you know it. It doesn’t matter how big or small the boat is. What’s important is that you’re out there, having fun. Oh, and don’t forget your sunscreen!
