What to pack

What January feels like

January is when the bay can drop far enough to stun the sea turtles, and volunteers spend the cold snaps hauling them out for rehab at the aquarium. The wind off the water does most of the work here, so bring a real jacket rather than a hoodie.

Real rain shows up about 3 days all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.

Can you swim?

The Gulf runs about 58° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
