Hello everyone, I recently purchased a boat that stays on a mooring ball most of the time; This means I will be using a dinghy a lot to get back and forth. My dinghy ride is about a mile through a crowded harbor. My question: What kind of safety equipment do you carry on your dinghy? I'm putting together 2 dryboxes that I plan on stocking with the following equipment:- Flashlight- Multi-purpose tool (Leatherman, or similar)- Small anchor (i.e., 2-lb PWC type- Just enough to keep me from washing out with the tide) with about 100' of line- 2 Handheld flares- 2 Self-contained aerial flares (no need to carry a flare gun)- 1 Liter of water- 1 Large towel (Can be used as blanket, sun shade, rag, bandages...)- 1 small air horn (or maybe whistle)...And enough room left over to carry a handheld VHF. There is also a small fire extinguisher mounted on the dinghy, along with all the other USCG required equipment. Am I missing anything?--Jon BastienH23 '2 Sheets to the Wind'H25 'Adagio'
