I know most here have small baots that never leave the sight of land.
But perhaps one or 2 of the ASA sailors have a ditch kit survival bag
kit.

It the first thing you grab after launching the raft or lifeboat.

Whats in yours?

I have flares (all kinds), smoke signals, signal mirror, water,
carmel, smokes, fishing gear, knife, patch kit, first aid kit,
matches, HH VHF, HH GPS, flashlight, strobe, .25 pistol, whistles,
knife, solar blankets.

My kit is in a floating watertight surplus 50cal ammo box and painted
on it is ABANDON SHIP KIT

What else should an deep water ditch kit contain?
