Do you have one?
How is it secured to the boat?
What's in it?
Still thinking of the recent GOM tragedy.
It's easy to say "Can't happen to me."
Wrong. Many ways for a boat to capsize, even close to shore.
Then the wind/currents can take you to sea before anybody
notices.
How do you prepare for that?
Gfretwell, I know you would just walk into the mangroves, but
you've probably given it some thought since you've done other boating.
Wayne, I'm interested in your ditch bag on the big boat, and if you
carry a bag in the dinghy. since you've mentioned you travel in it far
from the boat.
Anybody else have thoughts on it of care to comment?
Beyond an EPIRB, will a VHF be useful if the ditch bag gets
soaked. Is a VHF any good at water lever?
Is a hard case buoyant ditch bag the way to go?
