Just 2 at the moment Joan. You probably remember I don't eat too much, so a power bar is there in case I get hungry before dinner, but this is a rarity. Usually I find breakfast and lunch a nuisance. The camera, sunblock and water are the only commonly used items, the first aid kit the only other thing I keep in the hatch. Most other stuff resides on the pfd ,but that is usually trim as well- On one pfd, I carry flares/strobe, both have noseclip, knife, key, hand compass, whistle. Seems that I only use the noseclips with any regularity. the rest of the kit ('cept for tea) are in the main hatches which needn't be readily accessible. I use a towbelt and the front deck has a compass and storm paddle. rear deck, empty. pump is built into the romany, I clipped a hand pump in the cockpit of the silhouette. I also lined the day hatch with 1/4" foam, provides insulation from both temperature and clunking. I am still thinking through Peter's dilemma, I think there is hope...
