Cabbage Key Packing List Tips by kaloz

Party Theme

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: The theme is "red", so ladies get out your red dress, we're gonna party tonight!

Don't forget your pants

Luggage and bags: I try to carry very little while travelling. The more bags, the more likely to have trouble. I carry a backpack (rucksack) and on this trip an accordian.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Since the purpose of this trip was a New Year's Eve party. I brought my tux. And because the theme was red, I brought my red silk socks.
Other times on the island are casual, and you should dress for the islands

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: The cabin was well stocked, so only personal items need be brought. We did have some food stuffs on the boat and the cabin had a kitchen for cooking breakfast.

Photo Equipment: Cabbage key is dense with vegetation, so a telephoto lens is not necessary, I like a wide angle and a portrait lens, and slow film to get the colours (no faster than asa 100)

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Cabbage Key is in a muddy area, that is why the mangroves grow here, so we didn't encounter any swimming beaches. You can dive off the boat, so swimwear is always a good idea, unless you go starkers.

Miscellaneous: Bring a fishing pole. This is a great area for sport fishing, and Tarpon is king!
