Wanna bet?
1) Full time registered nurse! (See, I already won!)
What if she is the one critically injured?
As we both are licenced MM masters we are both CPR and first aid
certified.
Plus we both have fire fighting certification, and tankerman
endorsements.
2) Coastal flare kit
Well duh, We carry red and white para flares. and 15 pistol flares and
two pistols.
3) Offshore flare kit
Sorta redundant, you going to use one or the other if needed? We also
have 4 sets of Navy issue .25 cal. aviation type pencil flares.
4) 3 throwable devices, two with lines.
we have 2 horse shoe dan bouys on lines, and a lifering, not a cheap
small white one like you have on your stern. Also have a monkey fist on

case, emergency fishing gear kit, water distillers, signal mirrors, LED
flashlights, .38 snubnose colt, dye markers, EPIRB, Sextant, compass,
sea anchor, canned water, carmel, solar blankets, whistles, glow
sticks, knife.
5) 4 fire extinguishers
3 here.. one dry chem, one CO2. The engine room has an auto halon
system.
6) 1 large first aid kit
Get suzy to get some morphine, rigs, stitching equip, antibiotics.
7) 4 adult and 1 child safety harnesses
We have 2 adult harnesses. And one harness for working aloft with a
dyna brake.
8) 3 Type 1 life jackets, 8 type 2 and 4 type 1
We have jackets for all aboard.

Heart of Gold, like Alien, Ghost and Yoda before her will continue with
our 100% perfect safety record, with more than 750 guests and counting!
We have never had an accident on RedCloud, living aboard and sailing
full time since I bought her. Including several LD offshore racing,
fishing trips. I did have a fish hook go in at the thumbnail quick an
try to poke out on top of my thumb knuckle, but that was at the dock.
As you can see...it's easy to do better.
