Question about treatment of a coral cut: About 4-5 days ago, I scraped my knee on coral on the bottom in Fiji. No idea what kind except not a staghorn stle coral. Got a very small cut that bled a little, but also a pattern of about 10 dot abrasions. I'm wondering about care for the dot...

I'm looking at taking a couple 8 year olds on a boat for what should be a 5 hour trip. Don't know if they will get seasick but one has had motion sickness issues with riding in the backseat on twisty roads. Suggestions for what to take to try to prevent it? I've taken Bonine with good effect...

Several ad messages for trips are appearing in regular liveaboard subforum instead of marketplace. Any reason they don't have to appear in marketplace?
