They're good for quick energy when you don't want to go below.

I'll second that motion. I also like to bring one or two small
flashlights (hand torch), preferably with a red lens. The kind that
have an elastic strap that you can wear on your head like a miner's
light are particularly useful. Don't forget your rigging knife or
multi tool either.


Speaking of knives... I carry four (three if it's a nice day on the bay).
One is large, serrated, and I can open with one hand. One is small,
serrated, and I can open with one hand. One is part of a mini leatherman. If
it's a big wind day or I'm single-handing, I carry a fourth on a lanyard
around my neck. The knife is serrated, and has a marlin spike on it.

Expecting pirates? =:-)
