SUGGESTED PACKING LIST
Life Aboard Mary Day
Casual, relaxed, easy-going and informal
As a reminder, packing in soft-sided luggage will help in stowing gear on board Mary Day. As each cabin is different in shape and size, space is a commodity. Packing to go on a windjammer should be simple, just the bare essentials. No fancy dress-ware, no hairdryers, or curlers needed. Let the wind and salt air be your friend and leave all the extras behind. Below are suggested items to pack. As you are packing, take into consideration the time of year - June and September tend to be cooler in temperature with a crisp fresh breeze, making a jacket, hat, and gloves practical to have along. July and August tend to be the warmer months so a swimsuit and sunhat are definite must-haves. Who could resist the chance to dip your toes into the cool waters of Maine?? And but of course, there are those "must-have" items to make your vacation complete.
Clothes that you can layer work best.
