Gear List!

Of course we know what we're doing . . . :)
Leaving in 5 days. Some concerns at the moment:
- Ciguatera fish poisoning. There are a few fish to definetly avoid eating, but this powerful neurotoxin that can't be seen, smelled, tasted, or cooked out, can be found in ANY reef fish.
- Getting enough water to remain hydrated in the heat. With the low odds of finding any source of fresh water on the island, we will have to climb palm trees and use solar stills to collect an adequate supply of water.
- Kayaking the 15 - 20 miles back (in possibly rough water) after 2 weeks with little energy.
