I would have thought Chapman's or Bowditch would be more useful than a
Bible, unless you happen to be particularly religious.

How about a Bible?

Seriously - the majority of such trips have been made without any of the
gear
you mention. On the other hand, I have all that (except the SSB) when I
go out
for a day sail.

Interested in some opinions here, what equipment do I absolutely need?
Do I
need radar, do I need a GPS with a chartplotter, do I need a SSB, should
the
boat have refrigeration?
