Q: Is there anything else I should know?
A: Actually yes, there are a couple of things that will make your trip more enjoyable. Choosing the appropriate clothing is important for your comfort throughout the charter.
If your visit is during warmer temperatures, choose lighter clothing that “breathes.” Cotton tee shirts for example, trap moisture and heat and may make you feel much hotter than you have to be. Choose lighter colored clothing. I advise against blacks, dark browns, or dark blues because these colors will absorb the sun’s rays and heat up much more than light colors.
If your visit is during our relatively cooler part of the year bring a light weight jacket, etc. You will be riding in an open boat and the air can be a little nippy.
