Hello Bill,

are you aware, that it is possible to add pockets to your spray 
skirt? Of course, it depends on what kind and size of a spray skirt 
you have.

I am keeping a knife, a whistle and extra food (candy bars 
etc.) in my PFD pocket (only one).

In the spray skirt pocket - hopefully next summer - a smoke torch,
possibly few rockets. I am trying to find some reasonable packages 
for them - condoms might be some of the most popular ones.

On the deck a chart, a compass and a cellular phone in a watertight 
package, which allows itīs use without taking the phone out.  
They are fastened  to the bungie chords.  Also, a new spare paddle, 
the neoprene sleeves to warm my wrists.  

Under the deck possible extra rockets and in a watertight package 
behind the seat: a radio (weather forecasts), extra knife, first-aid 
kit, a hypothermia cover.  Sun cream.

THEN of course: extra clothes & rainwear.  Water etc.  Dry- or 
wetsuit.

Has somebody already done this list during a last few weeks?
