I wonder why Scotty is so bothered by a boat carrying a toddler also
carrying 6 lbs of extra safety communications gear?

Because it's obsessive..if you're that aftaid something's going to
happen, then do don't him sailing....

Almost every boat I know of carries a cell phone (because everyone has
one these days), a handheld and a fixed radio. So all I carry that's
"extra" is the spare radio and emergency antennas. I've acquired a few
radios over the last few years, so keeping a spare on board with a
little rollup antenna is not exactly panic in the wings, Katy. The FRS
radios are for fun, in case you thought anyone was going to call for
help on them.

How about SSB, Bubbles? You could contact someone in Kenya if the little
guy needs a diaper change.

Bob, You said you carry the following. Here are my comments.

Cell phone - reasonable, since everyone has one now.
Fixed VHF - the boat VHF, again reasonable.
Backup Fixed VHF - why a backup *fixed* ? Doesn't make sense
Handheld VHF - reasonable, good idea.
FRS Radios - reasonable communication off the boat, but for a small boat
like yours seems overdone, but ok
Mobile and fixed emergency antennas - I could see one spare antenna. Why do
you need a spare mobile one?

He just doesn't get it.

And yet we have a nicer boat, sail more often and further, never had an
emergency or injury on board.
Scotty potty, it's you who hasn't got it. Not even a taste of it.
