PERSONAL GEAR

The following list of gear will help our passengers prepare for their trip.  It is by no
means a complete list - and some may consider it to be more than needed.  A big part of
the service we offer is to make sure our passengers are as prepared as possible.  Of
course, if you have any questions, please feel free to call us at (619) 226-8030.  We?re
standing by to assist you in planning your long-range adventure.
 
* PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP - YOU MUST HAVE A PASSPORT!  Due to Homeland
Security requirements, all passengers, and crew members, must have a valid Passport. 
 
* DUFFEL BAGS -  Considered best for storage, and for dirty laundry.
 
CLOTHING

* PANTS Bring a change for each day.  Light material is best.
* SHIRTS You may need 1 or 2 each day.  If you?re sun sensitive long sleeves are in order.  Light fabric for quick drying and coolness in warm weather.  Sweatshirts are handy for nights and cool weather.    
* SOCKS Yes!  The more the better.  At least a pair for each day.
* SHORTS For those hot sultry summer days.
* UNDIES Don?t forget them!
* JACKET For those cool fishing nights and cooler weather.
* SNEAKERS   Bring 2 pair so you?ll always have a dry spare.
* RUBBER BOOTS - One pair of short, comfortable boots.
* HAT - Wide brim, baseball caps, foreign legion.  Think Sun Protection.
* LIGHT RAIN GEAR - Very seldom used, but appreciated when it rains.

* SUN GLASSES - Polarized to cut the glare.  Security straps will prevent loss over
the side.

Sunscreen (water proof and broad spectrum type)

video recorders are also welcome.

a great selection of DVD's, but you're more than welcome to bring one or two to
share.
 
* WRITING MATERIAL -  Notebook, stationary, pens and pencils for making notes
on what to bring next trip (and what to leave behind.)  Keep a daily journal of the

* SEA SICK MEDICATION  & REMEDIES - Check with your Physician for preferred
method of prevention (Transderm patches are back!  These appear to be highly
successful.)  There are several over-the-counter products that are very effective.  Your
local Pharmacist would be another excellent source for recommendations.
