Sailing Vacation Lists
To have the best time possible on your sailing vacation
avoid
hard luggage,
packing too much
and dark soled shoes
|
You'll be glad you did.
Our Sailing Vacation Lists start with soft bags. Usually a backpack and a soft duffel bag each. The back pack is used as carry on and later for shore excursions, day trips and shopping. Soft duffels can be unpacked then rolled up and stowed in a net or cupboard out of the way.
Seasickness Remedy
Recent studies strongly suggest that taking at least 3000 milligrams of Vitamin C for 4 days prior to sailing can prevent seasickness.
Try Ginger to settle an already upset stomach
Our favourite Caribbean sailing vacation destination is the British Virgin Islands. This is what we pack when we go sailing in the tropics.
