Things to Bring
Well we all know that even if you pack a week, a month or the day before you arrive you will always forget one or two things... Memquisit has put together a short list of things to remember.
Outdoors
- Sun Screen
- A waterproof and higher SPF is recommended.
- Bug spray
- After bite, Benadryl or similar equivalent for those who may be allergic to bites. The bug season kind of works like this; Black flies out in the spring May to June usually more of a bother on the water if the winds are calm and are more commonly found in the back weeded bays of West Bay. Once we start to get the summer heat the black flies disappear. Mosquito's from mid to late June through to early to mid-August. They are commonly out during humid early mornings after a warm rain and out for a few hours a dusk. The dear and horse flies are out from early July to end of August and are a bother during the day out on the water or in the trails not so much around the cottages.
