Launch day is fast approaching, so I've spent some time putting together our ditch bag. I thought I'd share my bag for those who are interested. Additional suggestions are always welcome! We boat on Lake Michigan, both near shore as well as crossings. The bag:
Attwood 20L Dry Bag
Polyform A Series Buoy (to keep the bag afloat if needed)
Flare Gun, Flares
Adventure Medical Kits Field Trauma kit
Horn
Mirror
Whistle *2
Standard Horizon HX870
Battery Pack for Standard Horizon
5 additional batteries for Standard Horizon in plastic baggy
Knife/Multi-tool
Carabiner
50' Nylon line
2 Sea Dye markers
PLB
Duct Tape
Not in picture: Water bottles and granola bars. We will be purchasing the Revere Coastal Commander 2 when BOE has their sale (hint!).
Be safe out there!
