What is a recommended strategy to prevent seasickness?

Settling yourself in a midway point of the boat is a recommended strategy to prevent seasickness because this area tends to experience less motion compared to the bow (front) or stern (back) of the boat. When you're positioned amidships, you are more likely to feel the motion of the boat less intensely, as this part of the vessel moves in a more stable manner with the wave motion.

This stability can help your inner ear, which is responsible for balance, to better coordinate with what your eyes are seeing, reducing the confusion that can lead to motion sickness. The overwhelming sensory input caused by feeling motion but seeing a stable environment can often trigger seasickness.

It's also beneficial to note that maintaining focus on the horizon can enhance this effect, as it provides a stable reference point, aiding your body's ability to gauge balance and direction more effectively, aligning the sensations from your inner ear and the visual signals.
