For those interested, here is a list of my gear that I have found works well for me. This is, of course, an affiliate link and your enjoyment of these may vary:

A few weekends back, we went sailing from Channel Island Harbor with a good friend. He is a member of the sailing club there and offered to take us out.

Not only was it fun, but it was also an educational experience. Some of us got a little queasy, but we have learned to not go below and to not upload images to instagram once at sea. A most certain way to turn green.

My friend has promised to take me out to the islands for some peakbagging excursions when he is ready.
