Getting more enjoyment from your racing.


John Owens is part of our Seamanship Poster Crew - the mighty Slinkies from Hobbos. He's been one of the intrepid sailors trialling the Sea Biscuit bands that we offered to you all in Heave Ho.

Here's what he has to say so far. "I wore the band for 2 days prior to the KI race and during the race and ever since. Normally I usually get a little queasy in the first 12 hours or so of the ocean races, occasionally 'feeding the fishes' and then get over it and 'sail on'."

"This time I wore the band as above and felt minor queasiness  for about 10 mins only  and no sickness!!! - so in this race it worked for me.  The weather was a bit calmer than usual and so may have had an effect as well? - don't know. Anyway, its just one race and there are two more to go (M2PF and M2AB), so will report in again after these for an update", said John.

"Am wearing it constantly now (for 19 days) and do notice an improvement in my general energy levels."

Thanks John for being a pioneer and keeping us informed. Do hope it works for you. I have been trialling a normal EF band, which Damian gave me. I did incur the flu like symptoms after just 24 hours and they lasted for at least five days. I had been warned this was the case as the body re-adjusted. Thus far I have not had increased energy levels, but have the band back on to check it out. Stay tuned.


Right. There are a few Sea Biscuits still available for trial - read about them HERE and then call the office - 9689 1622.

This is one hell of a
tourist destination!

Bring the shore crew - they'll love
you for it and you'll get leave passes
whenever you want from then on.
No. Really. Promise.
