Default Essential Kit

With Christmas over and my mind turning more and more to trips outside the
protection of the Cromarty Firth I have began looking at some more kit that
I should purchase. I already have flares, map case, compass, GPS, paddle
leash. After only an hour of paddling in a following 10 knot wind the other
day and spending that hour trying to go straight, I will definitely be
purchasing a rudder for my skegless boat.
I also want to be able to get back into the boat myself so I have paddle
float and pump on my list. First aid and repair kits come to mind and maybe
a spare split paddle. Are there any other items that I really should be
carrying ? Tow line perhaps ?
