A note on the weather

Your Captain will always keep a close eye on the weather, but we recommend that you check the weather before departing for the day. Remember that you will want to dress in layers since the mornings start cool and the afternoon’s end hot! Please also remember that if your excursion includes young children, you do not want to forget the sunscreen and bug spray!
