It’s the Ferry Contest Tomorrow!

I am looking forward to the Ferry Contest tomorrow. Only a few hours to go. I was thinking about packing my bags and what I should include. The weather looks like it could be hot at around 29 degrees and there is always a risk of a late shower or storm. With that in mind here is my list below.

God luck for those who are participating. I hope to hear you during the day.

Preparation

What to Bring

  • Backpack
  • Rain jacket
  • Hat
  • Sun glasses
  • Sunscreen
  • Water bottle – can fill on some ferries and wharves
  • Snacks
  • Camera for those unique Ferry Contest Moments
