Heading back next week for our second trip after a few years away (just the wife and me on a 38' mono). Our first trip we learned what everyone does - we brought too much! So this time we're packing far fewer clothes and will provision very differently for food/beverages. Well, at least food...
Just wondering, what small things do you wish you had brought with you to make the trip a little better? Luxury sort of things, not normal staples like sun lotion, music, sunglases, etc.
As an example, this time we're bringing a couple of sharp paring knives (everything on the boat was dull last time, ended up using my leatherman), a small juicer for drinks (about the size of a hand) and a compact ice crusher (about the size of a shoe). They'll all pack inside each other so it's not a big footprint but they're definitely not must-haves, just nice to have.

Turkish towels (beach size) instead of regular one. That would be awesome...unfortunately would kill my only carry on rule for the crew...:) so the blue shower towels at Moorings base will have to do

We are land based and bring spices/herbs in a 7 day prescription organizer. Just make sure to label and to put a length of masking tape over the top. The little lids can easily pop open
ETA - and since it is only 2 of us we bring a Melitta pour over coffee cone. Takes up no space, weighs next to nothing, and is great for 2 cups in the AM
