In case I get thrown out to sea this tracking device will show my location in the water.

My all time favorite bouillon. Can't cook a good meal...especially with limited groceries, as in the islands...without it.

If I hit the water it should inflate, using a CO2 cartridge.

Not that I really need them; I'm just used to taking them on any sailboat. This Hylas 54 has motorized winches...merely push a button to adjust the sails from inside the full enclosure. But I'll take sail gloves for emergencies and to make me feel like I'm a real sailor.

The TSA allows for two CO2 cartridges to be packed in checked bags. I'll place a print-out of the TSA Regulations on top of this to remind the inspectors.

Goes without saying...

I got a three-pack of headlamps. They each have 4 settings....low light, high beam spot light, red light, and flashing red light. Hopefully we won't need that last setting. But having a head lamp wth a red light is great for night watches.

My old blue Gil. May not need it in the hot climate we will be in, but you hate to be without it.

Hidden below a lot of other stuff is a small bag of Mung Beans. These are the "seeds" of which I plan on growing bean sprouts for a couple of Asian meals I have planned... Hot & Sour Soup and Egg Foo Yung. Torie has 20 cans of Tofu on board! It's just calling for fresh bean sprouts, don't you think? Now to convince the Captain that this is a good idea...

For Hot & Sour Soup and some other dishes. I usually use just Wood Ear Mushrooms, but Graul's doesn't carry those in bulk any more. We'll make do with their stir-fried variety.

One regular Nikon with a couple basic lenses and one easy underwater Panasonic Lumix.

Way down deep in the bottom of the duffle is the Galley Pirate Battle Flag. It'll look great on a Hylas!

HEPHEAS Tourniquet, Orange Military Combat Issue Application Tourniquet for First Aid Kit, Stops Bleeding, Lightweight, Hospital Life Saving Hemorrhage Registration Card!
Yeah, hope we don't need this!

Little spinner things that push the raw water through to cool the boat engine. You always want to have spares.

A request from the captain. It's always good to have extra filters.

So we'll be able to accurately identify our Boobies. (Blue-footed and Red-footed that is)

I found great instructions for growing bean sprouts in carry out containers on the internet. It will take up about 8 square inches of space; growing fresh veggies in the forward head.
