Stuff yourself with a large breakfast and continue eating all day,
especially on the way out. Greasy food is okay. And besides, if you do
get sick, it comes up easier. The only times I've been sick on a
pelagic were after light breakfasts. Constant eating keeps your mind
and stomach occupied. The crumbs on the binoculars are a drawback,
however.
