      THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT OUR LOCATION:

1.We have Mosquitoes and Sand Flies (No-Seeums)

2.We are remote; you get to us by sea.

3.There are times that our electricity runs out since we are on Solar, if we have too much cloud covering or the team has used up all our power then we use Hurricane Lanterns.

4.It can be quite hot and humid, be prepared for that.  Tank tops are all right, (girls just need to be sure they are appropriate.) Shorts must be mid-thigh or longer.

5.When we run out of water, we bath in the sea, with Sailor Soap!
