Interesting. Perhaps carrying a hand-held depth sounder isn't a bad
idea.
They're pretty cheap.

After reading about the impossibility of protecting wired gear from
lightening, I decided that a good safety measure would be to carry
spares for critical gear in an insulated case.
What's "critical" is debatable.

I would include a new set of underware. lol


After I sent that, I thought I should have said "critical electronic
gear."
You've confirmed that thought. (-:

Heh... I thought you should have also. Critical gear for
she-who-must-be-obeyed includes a portable Scrabble set and several stuffed
animals.
