North Gulf Coast Cruise 2007. I have some questions for coastal cruisers. How many of you carry a ditch bag and or a life raft? Do you carry a locator beacon (EPIRB's) of some type in the event of an accident? Being here on Lake Lanier, Georgia, I really have not concerned myself with such items, but having been raised in Pensacola I do know that when you add current into the mix, it becomes a whole differnet animal. My Dad used to say that it wasn't the gulf that was more dangerous it was the land masses and tides that caused the problems...

Having attended the last three I can tell you no one carries those items. Safety gear yes. There are a few that drag along a dingy. You will be in the IWC all the time, (don't let me give the impression it can't get bad, just ask anyone that attended last year) There is a group that will venture out into the Gulf weather permitting. And you will be assigned a buddy that will keep up with you.
