I remember cutting myself on the hand quite badly and feeling very
satisified that I had a first aid kit. Trouble is sticking plaster doesn't
stay on in the water and the combination of saltwater and paddling kept the
woumd open until I started to feel quite giddy. The minor injury became a
major embarassment. Nowadays always include duct tape and a gauze pad in the
kit - much better than sticking plaster on the water.

All the best, PeterO
