Gear list for crew.... #19813 05/05/2013 07:03 PM 05/05/2013 07:03 PM

I camp and backpack with these guys so they are pretty good at showing up properly equipped but since two of them have never been on a bareboat-charter before, I want to provide them some guidance regarding what to bring aboard. Appreciate any feedback you folks might have..... Thanks, Nate

(Island time is the same as sailing - all in good time) Sometimes the hardest thing to do is leave normal life behind. Oh, and the last thing is extra money. You have come a long way to let a few extra dollars stop a good time. Relax and have a great time.
