WHAT TO BRING ON WINDMILL
Here are guidelines for personal gear to supplement what is on board Windmill. You will want to be self-reliant and pack lightly for a variety of conditions. These items, or equivalents are suggestions for a comfortable trip. Baja is the desert, not the tropics. It may be cool at night. You will sail with the wind, and with wind comes spray, making it damp aboard. The sun shines for twelve hours and reflects intensely off the water. Your hat, lightweight protective clothing, sun glasses, and lots of sunscreen are your best protection. Cuts on feet are the most common injury and could be troublesome all trip. Close-toed, white-soled shoes(tennis shoes)are best for aboard the boat. Water socks or sandals with positive closure and good slip resistance are okay. Have footgear that fastens securely for wading ashore. Tennis shoes and sandals are adequate for ashore. Desert, salt water, and beach sand aren’t kind to equipment or optics, so protect them.

NECESSARY:
1 ea sleeping bag, mid-weight(synthetic fill).Cabin is cushioned,
1 ea wide-brimmed, or long-billed sunhat
1 “ warm hat, watch cap
1 pr sunglasses w/captive strap(polarized lenses best for glare & vision in water)
2 bottles, minimum, #15 or higher sunscreen
1 small bottle insect repellant(rarely used, but better safe than sorry)
1 ea personal flashlight & batteries(headband styles are great for freeing hands)
1 ea pocket knife
1 ea bandana(neck protection and hand wiper)
1 ea bathing suit(nylon, quick dry)
1 ea towel(try a synthetic quick-dry camping towel)
1 ea water bottle, 1-quart with wide mouth for easy refill
1 ea sm bottle of salt water soap(Joy dishwashing liquid lathers well)(no Dr. Bonners)
1 pr sturdy cotton or nylon shorts, loose for comfortable sitting, squatting
1 loose, long-sleeved, collared, light-colored shirt for sun protection
1 pr long pants, loose kakis or equal(jeans usually too hot)
1 pr thermal underwear for sleeping, chill factor, protection while snorkeling
2 pr socks
- underwear, as needed
2 t-shirts, or equal(we like collared shirts for neck protection)
1 warm layer, sweater or jacket
1 foul weather jacket or rain jacket, for spray, warmth, & wind chill protection
2 pr shoes or sandals; 1 pr for getting wet

EXTRAS: Bring those things that will inhance your trip such as snorkeling gear, camera, binoculars, fishing gear(permits required), Walkman, soft folding chairs(Crazy Creek) for cockpit & beach, handi-wipes, assortment of ziplock bags; but remember, it is a small boat.

PACKING: You should pack in small, soft luggage like zippered duffle bags(12"X20"). It is wise to line your duffles with a plastic garbage bag for water protection. Bring a small daypack for carrying sunscreen, water, etc; when you are away from the boat. You will most likely not be able to buy or replace gear while in Baja. We will store your travel luggage ashore during your cruise.
You will enjoy your trip more with organized, lightly packed bags. We are happy to answer questions and take suggestions.
