Default kayak trip to Little St. George Island

Has anyone out there had any experience with Kayaking? Planning a trip to Little St. George Island (Florida) in early March. My son will be kayaking out to the island and camping for a week. What clothing will he need at that time of year? I've been told no cottons..only quick dry materials but what else should we know?

Who is this organized through? is it an outfitter or private organization? their list should be pretty much spot on if it is.

It's been a long time since I've jungle camped but a hammock, mosquito net (army surplus as it's big enough) and a lightweight tarp over the top is a primo sleeping setup with the appropriate sleeping bag/blankets.

Dry is the key word. Have at least two high quality dry bags for clothing. Nothing worse than no change of dry clothes.

Insect repellent, sunscreen, corn starch (for the skin), baby wipes (unscented) for personal hygiene, a decent first aid kit with antiseptic, anti diarrheal meds, etc. Three sources of fire, a good multi-tool or Swiss Army knife, some strong string or cord....


Lucky young man!

Thanks for input. He is going through his college which books the trip with a private company on the island. It is my understanding that they will be using tents....and we have that. I was more interested in the other things to send. I wish I knew what the temps would be...short sleeve or long? I know they can't bring much. They are to live off the land so to speak. It is a soul searching adventure, which is a great thing for anyone.

Anyone out there know temps in ST GEORGE ISLAND in
