Thanks!! You have a couple items I hadn’t thought about! I take a knife wrap with a sharp vegetable peeler, Chef’s knife, paring knife, & silicone spatula. Small dishwashing sponge & drying towel. Also good clothespins.
Great list! We also bring medium size dry bags with about 4 or 5' of cord. Orange! If they hold air properly, as they should, they're easy to inflate. We use these snorkeling for visibility as even as a float. Feel so much safer towing one behind me, and in 8 years I've never had one fail. Of course you also can tow ashore sunglasses, sandals, sunscreen, etc. in them.
Thanks! This set-up actually saved a friend and me from what could've been a much more serious, or at least more memorable, experience. My friend is a Class IV whitewater river canoeist, but fairly new to snorkeling and the "open ocean". In some current off Pelican Island in the BVI she panicked a bit and grabbed onto me. I felt us both going under! But I had her take the handle of the dry bag I'd been towing and the little bag was enough to float us both. Whew!@@TheDesertSailor
So, for me, Bonine is my goto over Dramamine. Bonine does not have the soporific quality of Dram, so it qwells the sea sickness, without the drowsiness. I take one, once a day, 3 days before heading out on the high seas. I faired much better on a passage from Norfolk to Bermuda than my ship mates who had Scopolamine Patches!
Thank you so much. Great ideas!!
It says more about me but I always take a small hand coffee grinder. Also a pair of two way radios which are useful when laying shore lines.
I bring Walkie talkies too! And a huge amount of my own freshly grounded coffee from home as it is always so expensive in the Caribbean.

I have always found their kitchen knives to be good! And they always provide a sponge, but I like your suggestions, thanks for watching!
LOVE the list! FYI Costco has 5 gallon pleated bottom Zip Lock bags for large items.
Thanks for watching!
such a good video, thank you for the great tips
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching !
You ever thought about bringing any bed linen with you? Even just a square sheet or do all the boats have decent quality stuff onboard?
The sheets and pillows have all been pretty decent. They do get pretty damp and smelly pretty fast though!
Don’t forget Dramamine, air fresheners for the bathrooms, medicines i.e. cough, itch cream, allergy med.
