Welcome Aboard!
07 April 2010
So your going to spend some time aboard Bacon. Awesome!
What does one need to live on a boat for a while? Think of it as if you are going to a friend's cabin for the weekend, except that the cabin is very small, and floats.
Clothing:
Check the weather forecast and pack appropriately. Make sure you include some warm stuff as it is always cooler on the water. Wind and waterproof outerwear is important. Don't forget a bathing suit for swimming.
Sleeping Bag and Pillow:
Non-Marking Footwear:
Deck shoes, Crocs, Flippy Floppies, Sneakers, etc. Should be able to get wet.
Hat and Sunscreen:
Comestibles:
Snacks, booze, a share of the meals, any other consumables you wish. Refridgeration is limited and there is no freezer space.
Toys:
Snorkling gear, fishing rod, games, camera, a good book, whatever.
Storage space is limited, so try to keep bulk to a minimum. The less baggage to stow, the more room we will have to move about, sit, and sleep.
