My 1st thought is a small rubber hose tournaquate (sp?) in case someone ever
"finds" the propeller the hard way.
People don't tend to plan for catastrophic events.

About 15 years ago we had a guy *lose* a big toe when an "asshole" in the
rope snagged it. ("My toe! the rope stole my f%^&ing toe!!! was the exact
quote that alerted us to the problem) We had no way to treat it other than
force pressure on the open socket area. And our best diving peeps couldn't
locate the damn toe.

Add "super glue" to the kit too - saves on stitches and "recreational down
time" for "medium deep" cuts. It's totally usless for missing toes though.

And sunburn ointment - with Aloe.

I recently took a CPR & First Aid course. Made me think more about a
medical
kit for the boat. I had a pretty cheap one on the other boat that I was
going to use on this one. But it's pretty bad. I see West sells some, but
knowing boating stores that's probably the last place to buy it. I'm
thinking I might be just as well off to buy individual supplies to suite
my
(expected) needs.

Anyone have comments on where best to buy, what is most important, or
maybe
what is important but often overlooked??
