Hey all, I'm planning a 4 day outting this June. The scenario is:
will probably spend 3 days living on the boat (230 DA). Showers will be available at a friends hotel rm. Won't do much driving, we'll spend most of the time anchored with LOTS of other boats (big festival). I want to have as much of a trouble free trip as possible but would like to be prepaired for the worst. So here's what I've come up with first:
predeparture:
-Check oil, coolant and fill up gas and fresh water.
-Visual inspection of vital components: bilge area, outdrive and hull
-Inspect trailer
I'll be bringing an extra quart or 2 of oil, some extra coolant, duct tape, zip ties, jumper cables, basic tools, 1st aid kit, extra drain plug and I'd like to get a precharged battery jumper (don't need another boat to jump from).
Of course saftely items like life jackets, sunscreen, VHF are already on board, I just don't want to get stranded.
Anyone have anything else to add to my list or advice? Thanks.
Oh yeah, the festival is the Billy Bowlegs Festival in Destin FL.
