Started packing for next weeks trip.
So far in the bag there's a lifejacket, rearming kit and a thong. Is that about it?

 

[Salty John]

Depends who wears the thong!

 

[powerskipper]

A tooth brush, preferably electric and must be fully charged. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Colin_S]

No toothbrush - 4 fellas at sea for over a week - not brushing my teeth is my insurance policy /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Re: Thats not a thong...

You sure its not the crotch straps with your lifejacket /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Take out the lifejacket, there should be enough on the boat for everybody, and if there's not, don't put to sea in it, coz wot else have they overlooked.

That leaves the thong. Add a pair of shorts and a tee-shirt for formal wear. Sailing shoes, and jesus boots for shore expeditions. Sailing gloves if you suffer from tender parts. Something warmish for hanging around in air--conned airports. Credit card. Sun hat, shades on a string, and factor 30 and you're all set.

Spectacles, Testacles, Wallet and Watch...

 

[billcowan]

Do you really need a crotch strap on a thong?

or is it for the electric toothbrush?

 

[VicS]

Testacles? Did you mean tentacles? Oh 8/3.pi.r^3!

 

[Colin_S]

Right then, packing continues. Following advice I've added a hat, shades and some sun cream. Also a twin pack of Wrigleys - so much more convenient than a toothbrush.
Still taking my own lifejacket as it's got all the goodies attached that one's on board may not have.
Also considering something warm for night watches - is a barbeque practical?

 

[Twister_Ken]

Does your watch suffer from cold at night, then?

Mine just carries on as normal, 24/7, whether it's hanging on the bedpost or not.

 

[Colin_S]

Tried the bedpost thing - gets chewing gum all over the strap..........
