18. Will I get sea sick? Most people fish in the protected waters of Barkley Sound, which for the most part is calm. If you decide to fish the open ocean I recommend you take something like Dramamine or carry a barf bag.. On second thought forget the bag and chum.
19. How old do I have to be? If you are able to read this, you are probably old enough. You should also be old enough to do the following things. Obey whoever is bringing you, obey all camp rules, fish when your father does and snore with the rest of the men!
