It will be different if you're going on afternoon cruises or if you're
crossing the Pacific. The knowledge you'll need will also vary.

What type of boating do you envisage?



This is a 22' runabout. Regular use would be on lakes, at antique boat
shows, cruising up or down the Hudson river or in Boston Harbor fairly

near

the islands or main-land. Possibly I might be further out in the harbor

on

occasion. Could also sleep for a night on an island while moored nearby.

So just basics for daily stuff and, as Claims pointed out, the emergency
first-use stuff for a more "catistrophic" event. For anything really
serious I'd 99% chance be in Cell-Phone or VHF range and proximity to

land,

coast-guard, other boats, etc.

Any more thoughts or suggestions are welcome.




I often take a doctor with me...she's well-equipped, in many ways.



"Well-equipped"? Does she have "outdoor plumbing"?




Naw...which is why when I was shopping for a fishing boat, I ended up
with a Parker with a cabin and a flush toilet instead of the center
consoles that were higher on my list.

She has removed the occasional treble hook from my palm, my upper leg
and...well, no need to go there...
