a way to hook your music up to the boat's speakers. This varies. In our case it is the audio cable with the pointy connectors at each end. Sorry I cannot be more specific. Check with your charter company. I only say this because I saw someone pay 35.00 to RENT one of these cables that I know he could have purchased in US for a few dollars.

Extra clothes-pins, Portable soft sided cooler to take cold beverages with you in the dink. Extra sunblock - we ran out on our last day. Small line or parachord to tie toys (kayak, paddle boards, etc) to back of boat. Hand held VHF - many vessels only have radio in salon. I like to have one at helm. Also useful if your parties goes in different directions.

Thanks everybody... I could pack half of what I've got, but I have 3 t shirts, 3 pairs of shorts, and a pair of pants. That's it. I grabbed my goggles, I've got an Aux cord, but it's male on one side and female on the other (I suppose I need a male/male?) good thought on that. I'm not in Alaska and all I've got with me from my last excursion is a hand held GPS and a spot beacon. I doubt I'll need either, but I'm bringing the garmin out of habit. It's small anyway. Are there tools on board? what's the deal with algae in the tanks? Will I be able to bleed the injectors if I have to? What're the odds I get bouncing around and start sucking snot through the racors? Are these all things I should stop worrying about right now? All moorings etc are done in cash only right?

chanceak, your chartering, call a chase boat. The tools on a charter boat will be rudimentary. You are way over thinking this, have fun <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />

Yep ^^ what he said. Oh, AFAIK all the mooring are cash only. Enjoy!
Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!

All are cash if you pay the guy who comes out by boat to collect the fees.

brainsplode. Passport, credit card, cash. Everything else can be solved by passport, credit card, cash.

That's some solid [censored] reasoning. Thanks everyone - especially for the clarification re: stereo. Best; -Chance.
