Gear List
The list below is still very rough and I look forward to suggestions.
Since the boat is an open boat and it will be a family trip, it will be important to have the proper gear. I intend to make sure we are as prepared as possible while still trying to stay light.
I will appreciate feedback from people as we move more into the planning stages. Please Email me - joe@sundogmedia.com - if you have suggestions.
Thanks… Joe Law
