Additional Recommendations:
On Open Boat trips be sure to pack a lunch. We have a cooler on board to save deck space.
You may want to bring a small separate bag to store dry clothes, logbooks, etc. Be sure to pack a warm jacket or sweatshirt as it can be very cool on the ocean in the early morning.
Sun block and sunglasses are also a good idea.
