Can you tell me what I shouldn't forget to bring? Any advice for fun games to play at or after cocktail hour? I'm trying so hard to not bring too much!!

For games, bring a few decks of playing cards.
Download the Heads Up game to your phone - we play it all the time on the boat. The more drinks you have the better the game gets. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />

Thanks! Will the game work without wifi?

Sunscreen and lots of it. Expensive as all get out down island. Mexican train dominoes get a lot of play time on our boat.

We bring Yahtzee. A little skill, lots of chance.

Will game work without wifi?

An easy way to find out is put your phone on "airplane mode" while at home and see if it works.

Cards Against Humanity and a lot of space between you and your anchorage neighbors!!!

Yes, if you download the "decks" you want before hand, it works without wifi.
Laura - Cards against humanity is always a good choice!

Bring bathing suits, a few shirts, and sunscreen. Bring a deck of cards (or CAH) in case you have a truly rainy day. Unless you're captaining the boat, anything more is unnecessary, IMO. My last trip I brought only a backpack, and half of it was full of sundries for the boat (e.g. clothespins, handheld s2s radio, fishing tackle, a length of cordage, and 12V LED Christmas lights).

If this is your first trip, you're going to pack too much - it's part of the game. But, make note of what you truly didn't need or use, and remember to leave it behind on your next trip... and there will be a next one!

Pass the Pigs is big hit and the newest addition to our game collection is Exploding Kittens. Both are family friendly but are also super fun with adults - especially if drinking is involved!

A knife sharpener

A Tervis Tumbler with a lid for each person. I use it for coffee in the morning, water in the afternoon and cocktails at night. I even take it to shore with me, holds ice so much longer then those plastic cups.

I never leave home without my Sea Steps! Gotta get back in the dinghy....

I also always bring a small string of battery powered party lights.

We have iterated to 3 bags @ 49.9 lb each.
These are stuffed with roughly 129.9 pounds of toys for the boat, and 20 pounds of clothes. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

We bring fishing gear, dive gear, camera, GoPro, floaty toys, games, GPS, VHF, charts, nice fluffy beach towels, day-cooler, dry-bags, etc. etc.

Looks like the fishing gear is staying home this trip tho.
