Thanks Skein... Ive put a lot of thought in to how to do it right.. also have learned a lot from folks like Pliar and others who have many years of expirence...

Hey everybody... perhaps we should put togther a "Salty Dogs Ocean Safety Checklist" for ourselves and others... might save a life someday???

U.G.,
The checklist idea = GENIUS! I live in Idaho, don't hit big blue every week like some of you. A checklist might save a life (maybe mine). Please post it, and at least we can use it as a baseline for equipment I know the rule of 2 (2 of everything), however having a list is awesome. Thanks in advance.

Drinking water

Great idea, UglyGreen, thanks for picking this up and running with it.

In diving (as well as flying) we "filed" a plan. The old adage was, "Plan your dive and dive your plan." Someone on shore should know the following:

When you're leaving
Where you're leaving from
Where you're headed
How many people on board
How long you anticipate being out

When you leave, a call to them on a cell phone or radio can be a good idea too. How many of us manage to pull away when we plan to? More likely we are running late, so a call can cement (is that a nautical term?) when you actually left and who's on board.

My 2 cents (as if I'd really spent much time on the big tub).
