GUIDE LINE FOR PACKING GEAR

Bedding:
You should bring a sleeping bag, pillow is optional

Gear:
Dress for the program is informal. Follow the gear list when you are packing for the voyage. Bring old clothes as some of your belongings may well get permanently stained.

Foul weather gear & clothes:
Be prepared for rain, warm and cool temperatures. Good quality rain gear is recommended. Rugged work clothes are best. No special shoes are required. Sneakers are fine. No cleated boots or black soled shoes.

Diet:
Special diets or food requirements do not fit our schedule. All crew must eat what is prepared. We eat well and serve a variety of menus.

Money:
You will not be able to cash personal checks. We recommend you bring sufficient but appropriate money in the form of travelers' checks. It is very difficult to secure funds after the ship leaves port.
