Clothing and insect protection

  We almost always wear long sleeves for these kind of trips. The islands are on the Equator so the sun is intense. You can always roll up your sleeves. We are going again in the summer and I will also take thin shorts for the wet landings so they dry more easily. Don’t forget a broad brimmed hat. Oh gosh, I look so young from all this sun protection 😂😂😂😂
  No harm in spraying your clothes, they are protected through many washes so you could use them for other trips. If you cover up with long sleeves, you need less repellent on your skin.

  Thank you for the great input! What kind of foot wear do you use and then change into for the wet landings?

  We used water shoes for the wet landings and had a waterproof bag with the shoes/socks/towel that we would use and change into once on shore.

  Here is a picture on the beach shortly after a wet landing. You can see people drying off and changing into walk they plan to wear on land and some various bags,
