[Rogue Wave]

what's the bare mimimum safety stuff you would put on your boat.

24 cans of beer, 4 bottles of wine, 2 x-large packs of doritos and dip and some bog roll.

Don't forget the Bermuda shorts, hawaiian shirt, and Ray Ban's!

A good solid table and some rope to tie round yer ankles?

If you've got a missus, I suspect she'd kill you for saying that!

 

[jackeen's Missus]

Just in case you were deadly serious Waver!!! Zebedee is a tiddler and open to the sun moon & stars...

So bare minimum for a scoot would be...Boat Key...kill cord/spare..
Fuel....Radio...ropes...fenders....chart/GPS...lifejackets...flares...fire extinguisher...nav lights (tied on )...foghorn/torch...& suitable gear...toolbox...anchor..oil if it's a 2 stroke

Also handy mobile phone, credit card!!!water, chocolate, spare clothes, drybags.

Mr. & Mrs. N have a comprehensive list of stuff on their Blue Ice website...I'll try to find the link...

Missus

 

[jackeen's Missus]

Well done!!!! I was mainly thinking of stuff for the boat and Waver doesn't have a lot of feeling left in his limbs so even if something fell off his person I doubt he'd even notice...

Missus

In that case add to the list

One first aid kit for Waver containing

Walter Trout CDs
CD Player with new batteries
Large bottle of Cider
Binder twine for his trews

The only thing I need is a big boot to get the missus off the driving seat

 

[jackeen's Missus]

Oh behave TD

Missus

 

[Rogue Wave]

Oy TD you forgot to mention that ribsters should carry a towrope for when they see a broken down red boat

by the way I am sure you don't need to carry any knife as your tounge is sharp enuff to cut through most substances, oh dear , now if only your wit was as keen

 

[termite]

An innocent question; but what size weight belt will TD need to go with the diving aqua lung ?

T

 

[JamesM]

what's the bare mimimum safety stuff you would put on your boat.

A laptop with an internet connection!!! That way if you get yourself into trouble you can ask the advice of all the nice helpfull people on the Boatmad forum!!!

 

[JamesM]

oooooooh, a radio controlled helecopter would be handy cause you could fly a little note back to shore asking for help!!!

 

[Burty]

oooooooh, a radio controlled helecopter would be handy cause you could fly a little note back to shore asking for help!!!

but helecopters are really difficult to fly why not a radio controlled boat????

 

[JamesM]

erm, cause the note would get wet

 

[Burty]

[Rogue Wave]
