Came across this story from Sail magazine.  Important reading, no matter your opinion of the outcome ....

Andre,

Thank you for sharing.  It is a fascinating read.
And a lot to think about,

Indeed, thanks Andre. I didn't realize the scopolamine patches had such issues. Good to know.

Wow.  Complex chemicals kill.    I usually keep a couple of bottles of home brew ginger beer (non alcoholic) along with a small bag of candied ginger.  It wards off sea sickness and goes great with a shot of black strap molasses rum at the end of the day.
