While out on the gulf, we are practicing minimum impact camping, to ensure the pristine state of the wilderness remains for future generations. We will be keeping the weight and volume of a gear to a minimum. We will be staying in expedition quality tents, which provide more than enough room for two people (some single tents are available on each trip).
