Essential Kit
Hi Muzz.
Here to be legal you need a tow line , sounding device ( whistle ) pump or bailing device, padde ( just One ) PFD ( BA or Boyancy Aid there ). I carry flares, marine VHF, Cell phone when it works (coverage) some emergency food, flash lighs, compasses (2) emergency blankets, a small first aid kit , matches and waxed fire starter, a candle or two and an emergency change of clothes. Temperatures here are sub zero and we don't have the Royal life boat service you have . Out military is not that close when you need them either. I suspect if you dress for conditions and have the paddle float, tow rope , pump, a spare paddle and a meens to stayb or get warm you should be fine. Training is the answer of course. Its cheaper and less painfull to learn from someone elses errors. Alex |
