We are looking forward to welcoming you on board Melodrama. Please pack soft travel bags only, no wheely bags!

Here is a list of things we would like you to bring with you, which will make our time more enjoyable.

Contributions to our cupboard stores are always gratefully received!

Here are some of the things we will have on board that you will not need to bring:

Duvets, duvet covers, pillows and pillow cases Life jackets Harness lines A hairdryer Spare thin wet weather waterproof trousers First aid kit USB charging outlets

For your comfort and convenience we have on board:

– cabin heating – a USB charging port built into the light fitting in each cabin, for use when we are plugged into shore power or under engine. – hot and cold running water, providing the tanks have been filled up! – a small holding tank for WC waste – a fridge with freeze box (for ice!) – a fender step and side gates in the guardrails – all the port lights (windows) have fly screens.
