>>I suppose I'm even worse, I carry my flares in a cargo box inside
the boat.<<

I carry my three freshest flares in the back pocket of my Palm buoyancy
aid. I used a Seal-a-Meal food sealer to seal the flares into a clear,
waterproof bag (Ziplocs leak), and I fastened a nylon cord to it to
make it easier to extract without first removing the buoyancy aid. <g>
I store outdated flares in an emergency signaling kit in the cockpit,
along with an orange SOS banner. So far, I have never had to signal for
help, and I hope I never will.
