The twice the money half the clothes advice is very true. You will live in shorts and t shirt or rash guard. Twice I’ve laid out everything I took and only wore like 2/3s of it! Wear your one pair of pants on the plane!
There are so many areas to explore, but don’t try to do everything, it’s just not possible. As far as what to bring my favorites are string lights and solar lantern, headlamp (also for the dinghy at night), green lume stick for the boat at night (they all look the same in the dark) and a charging block for the lights and devices. 3M hooks are very useful as are dealy-bobs to attach various items. I also like having a hammock to set up between the forestay and mast. Make sure you lock up your dinghy, there have been a rash of disappearances. We also use an anchor alarm for peace of mind. One place I visit each time is Coco Maya, the food right on the beach is amazing as is the sunset.
We’ll be there the last week of Jan and first week of Feb - I’m leading a flotilla of 5 boats.
Have fun!
