> Weather-You can expect air temps of 15 deg C in August/Sept. (59 deg F). It is likely to be cloudy much of the time, sometimes drizzly/rainy too.
> Wind from a few knots to ~20.  Ocean Weather Station Papa if you want to play around with the data:

> Steel-toed rubber boots for working on deck
> Water proof pants and jacket for working on deck
> Consider waterproof gloves too
> Layers – it can feel chilly up there even in August. (bring a fleece, warm jacket, but also might want shorts for inside)
> Music/ pod casts  For working in the lab.
> Good books/e-reader
> Exercise clothes- I believe the Revelle still has a small workout/weight room. Also I sometimes jump rope on deck, or stretch, do laps around the deck.  Good to have something with you.  (consider bathing suit too, never know, could get a sunny afternoon)
> Good pair of sunglasses- polarized are nice for being on water/ at sea, make sure they have croakies/lanyard
> Sunscreen, lip balm
> Hats (one with visor and a beanie)
> Chocolate, gum, or other goodies to have and to share
> Coffee and a French press or something- if you are picky- the ship’s coffee is not coffee house coffee...
> A personal refillable water bottle and a sturdy mug- staying hydrated at sea is best seasickness prevention
> Seasickness medicine if you are prone- especially at beginning of cruise as you get your sea legs

> Matt, Matt, and Brendon if you have anything Revelle-specific let us know!
