Big-n-Buoyant:Great trip report! My first BB trip Summer of 05, 2nd Summer of 06, and I've already booked the 14-21st of July for 07 on the Pirate's Lady. Capt'n Ron and JZ are equally great crew members.
I studied a great deal (and read several web logs) before my first trip & and modified the 'check-list' from the BB web site. I've tweaked it following each trip. Some things are optional, others marked with asterisk (*) are must-haves. Of all of the optional gear, don't forget warm water gloves. A lot of rope handling will take its toll before week's end.
Hope all readers find it helpful. I diligently use it to pack before the trip & put another copy in my duffel to double-check equipment before I come home.
!!!! Couldn't get file to upload (sorry) - PM me & include reply email address - or send note to address below and I will email to anyone interested.
...was able to get the upload to work. PM or email me if you have things that you always have on YOUR checklist that you think I should add!
