What Jay said

Re: rain jacket. We use rain anoraks which fold up into a little pouch with also can be worn as a "fanny pack" thingy. They save loads of room if you were planning on a more tradiotnal rain jacket.

There will also be a flashlight on board, or there should be, check with the Charter Co. Leave the fins at home, that will save you tons of room and weight.

@sailorgirl- dirty girl!! The body glide is for my inner thighs (I don't have skinny legs!)-- for some reason the saltwater causes a rash even when I'm on island. The doc told me it would help a lot to reduce that problem so it's medicinal!!

@jay-- is there a plug in for iPod to the speaker system? If not what adapter is needed? And how big is the TV?

Again, all good advice!!

I'm impressed! It looks a lot like my regular trip packing list, minus the long sleeves and capris. I almost always bring a sweatshirt, and especially on December and January trips as it is cold at night and will be more so on the water.
Confession: I also use body glide when hiking. I've used it as a runner for years but it's great in humid weather. Amen to no chaffing, I say.

Hey LMG!!!! I'm hoping the Body Glide will help that issue and glad to know that it works!

I also find that the evenings in December can get cool. So I need something long sleeve just in case. I'll probably wear the sweatshirt or hoodie on the plane down and just change out of it when we change planes in Atlanta. It will be good to have it along though just in case.

Huh, yeah, if you use Body Glide (which comes in stick form, like deodorant) for any other purpose, you're going to be singing the well-known classic "Who's Sorry Now."

My only advice (besides cut the clothing by half) is to make copies front and back of the stuff listed above + drivers license and slip the copy into your carry-on. Heaven forbid you should need it but if you loose one or all items you have back-up and phone numbers to call with CC#'s. We always do this when traveling. It came in handy for us this trip. We also take pictures of any valuables such as jewelry that we are taking with us. I usually take a pic of my wife wearing and holding any jewelry to identify it as ours and leave it on the camera. I also have a pic of a business card on all of our SD cards in case it gets lost or stolen with the camera.

I don't think that boat has an ipod input so you will need an FM modulator. It does however have XM satellite radio. The TV is at least a 20 Inch flate screen maybe a little larger. Yes there will be one flashlight on board for the boat. It wouldn't hurt to bring one for yourself. I would suggest a small, LED bulb one.

When we did our bareboat with 3 other couples we told them if you can't get it all in a carry on...delete. I think you could cut in half what you're planning...then cut that in half once more.Others have already said it..you will be buying more T's and Tank tops...

One thing I do like with me is an insulated mug to hold my mass quanities of rum.
