Early morning light spills across Chincoteague Bay and the double-decker pontoon floats like a small island of possibility — slide, sun deck and room for a dozen friends.

Bring layered wind protection

Phone and keys should go in a waterproof bag and be stowed in a shaded area to avoid salt spray and sun.

Check local tide charts and a brief marine forecast before launching; conditions can shift quickly on the bay.
