Sunblock. Swimsuit. Sunglasses. Snorkel and mask. Yes, you know to bring these things when you go to the beach. But you may also want to swing by your kitchen/laundry area and grab these things before you go on your jolly way:
- Vinegar. One, it's great for dipping your usual beach meal of grilled fish and/or grilled pork in (plus soy sauce). Two, to kill the sting if you become a lucky jellyfish victim.
- Surf (laundry) powder mixed in water. To clean your mask/goggles. Also good for jellyfish stings, so the boatman told me. And yes, he specifically said to use Surf brand.
