WHAT THE CAPTAIN SUGGESTS YOU WEAR
"It's generally about 10 to 15 degrees cooler out on the water, so a good idea is to layer your clothes. A shirt, sweatshirt and jacket make a winning combination. Wear tennis or deck shoes, preferably with non-marking (non-black) soles. If it looks like it may rain, it's always a good idea to have a raincoat or jacket on hand."

WHAT TO TAKE
  • Camera
  • Sunglasses
  • Sunscreen
  • A jacket or windbreaker
  • Binoculars (if you wish)
  • Hat 
  • (We will have Dramamine/Bonine to take beforehand if you feel prone to seasickness.)
