I’ve been very preoccupied with putting together First Aid Kits – for the boat, the house and the cars. The photo below is of the current contents of our boat kit. There are countless sources online that will help in putting together a great medical kit for every imaginable use – ranging from weekend to offshore use. We certainly don’t plan on going offshore in our tiny vessel, but someday, when we have “The Big Boat”, we will need all the advice we can get and it helps to plan ahead. S/V Hello World has a great spreadsheet that details the contents of their offshore medical kit. Dr Mark Anderson put together a website which gives “basic knowledge for those that are physically isolated from access to professional medical care, such as sailors at sea”. Below is a list of links to some of the products I’m adding to our kit. I also purchased a pelican case so we can keep our boat first aid kit orderly and water tight.
