What to Bring

Packing List

Use soft bags rather than hard suitcases — there’s little stowage below deck, and soft bags work better in boat (see Practical Tips).

Suggested items to bring:

• Warm layers — evenings and nights on the water are colder than ashore.
• Rain gear — a waterproof jacket and trousers.
• Soft bags — they stow far better than rigid cases.
• Headlamp — for moving around the boat after dark.
• Sunscreen — sun and glare off the water add up quickly.
• Sleeping bag — bedding is not provided.
• Sheets / linen — and perhaps a small trekking pillow.
• Drinking water — bring enough for your trip.
