Usually a Pina Colada.

-flashlight
-Am Ex (good tip from the other thread) It's tempting to leave your wallet in the cabin. I am rethinking that.
- multi-tool.
- Real shoes/surf shoes. I never wear flip-flops or open shoes as a general rule.
- I think I could get by without the iPhone. But if I have pocket space...

Funny.

In a cross-over thread observation, I was watching a video on youtube the other night about some guy's BOB and he was wearing sandles in the bush. That one fact made me think "Duh!!" And discount his credentials and qualfications.

I always heard that women judge men by their shoes!

Don't forget to put your card, along with your passport, ID, and other important documents, in a waterproof pouch. It would be a nightmare if you get to the consulate only to be told, "I'm sorry, sir, but we don't believe you are the real GarlyDog."

A map of the ship. Pay attention to exits and lifeboats.

Your flashlight should be waterproof.

Drawing supplies to draw Kate Winslet naked on your couch. (This could happen at some point after you escort her through the flooded, dark passages with your waterproof flashlight.)

Good thing I'm not a cruise sort of guy.

Light and a whistle. Multitool as usual

Map of the boat seems like a good idea, as do decent shoes and a credit card / cash.

None of this is too bulky or arduous to carry.

A chemical heat pck might be useful, if only to keep hands functioning in cold / wet conditions. Lightsticks might have value tomark position for extended periods and spare flashlights. Decent gloves might also be useful but we are now starting to stretch what might be carried on body?

Interesting idea. I carry those in my pack and vehicles, and use a lot of them when hunting in early winter.. Do they work if they get wet? I have never experimented with that.
