Now, having enjoyed a Floatilla last year, here are a few tips and recommendations:
* Use sunscreen
* Wear sunglasses
* Wear a hat/cap
* Relax and have fun, but stay to your right to stay in the current.
* Have fun and be creative with your floats
* Be patient.  You’re on Tybee Time.  There’s usually a  bottleneck at the end, so just hang out and have fun while others are being helped out.
Every Tybee Floatilla event is loads of fun and a great way to experience voluntourism during your visit! Mermaids Make A Difference and you can, too!
