What kind of foul weather gear and clothing should I wear on a Trans-Pacific sail?

I’m a photojournalist travelling back from Hawaii aboard a 70′ Santa Cruz racing yacht and need to know what I should wear. Any advice on the crossing would also be helpful. Thanks.

Be prepared for any weather. Have a set of foulies. Wear a hat for sun protection. Take sun lotion. Have white outer clothing for sun protection. Layers of clothes are what keeps you warm. It is summer but it can get cold., especially with being wet with wind. Have sneakers. and socks. even if you are barefoot most of the time. Take comfortable clothes. Have fun.
