Type 3 vest for myself & my wife, handheld GPS, rigging knife.

On the boat I'd check the rations & water first, then probably the bilge
pump, all sea cocks, fuel system including tank, ports & hatches,
steering & emergency steering, backing plates on mooring cleats, radio,
batteries & charger, ground tackle...

It'd take a pretty long list, actually. Roughly equivalent to a survey.

Don't forget the CG required equipment... flares and such, a throwable,
make sure the lifesling is actually attached to the boat....

Good idea... make that all signalling devices, and firefighting
equipment... these are (or should be) survey items too

Usually the lifesling is stowed when we get on a charter boat, so we
have to mount it ourselves. But I also pay out and flake down the line,
checking it out too.

I also make sure the head works. That keep people happy and I can
enforce the no peeing over the side at night rule.

If you want to sail with me offshore, you have to hank on when you
come on deck at night, and you have to urinate in the head. I don't
want to lose someone over the side.

On your POS Cal 20, there is no head. There's not even room down
below to sleep.

What do you do if they pee overboard? Hit them with your purse?
