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
75ft of line, 12ga line heaving gun, 14 man inflateable raft in hard
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.

9) 1 spear gun


Me to! Also a Baby Bear Compound bow, Bushmaster AR15 shorty, .303, SS
410 shotgun 18" with slugs, Saber, Colt 1911, ect...
10) 2 VHF radios

What no SSB?
11) 2 cell phones

1
12) MOB Pole (Being installed this weekend)

Yelp
13) two horns

One hand held, one two tone airhorn
14) US Navy signal kit

Search light
15) Other assorted gear and first aid items.




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.
