Hard

- light rain jacket and pants (May purchase at Western Auto store in Juneau good selection. Helly Hanson brand Plastic and Vinyl are not good. They sweat so you get wet from the inside. I do have a few extras onboard for you use also!)
- Shoes:
- running shoes or deck shoes to wear on the boat
- Tevas or similar rubber sandals (rubber sandals are very good for kayaking and some onshore walks)
- Rubber boots mid calf height (May be purchased at Fred Meyers Store in Juneau. Buy the cheap black with the red sole. Also buy or bring an extra pair of inner soles. They will make the boots much more comfortable and fit better!!) (hiking boots do not work well)

- BINOCULARS! (Bring your best! We use them constantly! Each person should have their own. If you a making a new purchase and have some questions, please review the information below)
- Binocular Information & Dealers:
- I suggest binoculars 8x32 or 10x42 and no more than 22oz. The new binoculars have close focus; some to 3.5 feet and are great for birds and
butterflies. Image Stabilized by Canon is great; under $300 for 10x42 or $215 for 8x32. They really hold the image STILL.
- Here are two dealers with plenty of selection and at good prices:
- www.eagleoptics.com easy to reach by phone & experts to help!
- www.abesofmaine.com maybe better price
