When you're promoted* to snacktician you just make them properly for yourself. Who's crushing ice anyway, just pour equal parts mix and tequila into the nearest beverage container *demoted** **short crew problems

at minimum if you don't want to buy a VHF MOB beacon, 3x  will get you a water activated beacon/strobe that attaches to the oral inflation tube on your PFD.https://www.acrartex.com/products/c-strobe-h20

Just keep the coast on your left, as I always say The only thing I'm worried about hitting at night is, in order: 1) crab pots (keep the depth gauge reading 300+) 2) logs 3) whales 4) shipping detritus #2-4 you're not gonna see anyway, so drive someone else's boat and hope they don't throw you overboard?

Don't suck all the air out of the bladder on a hydrostatic inflated jacket. They won't actually inflate if submerged and you'll have to trigger the cartridge manually. Apparently there needs to be some air on the other side of the trigger in order for them to work. Hand compress them if you repack them and you'll be fine.

sharkytm posted:I'm a big Standard Horizon radio fan. I've seen many many cheap radios (Cobra is the lowest tier of name brand) die with very little use. ICOM is another option. ICOM M93D owner checking in. Great radio but 2x what OP was looking to spend. DSC is great (obv you need an MMSI to use it) Dual/Tri watch radios are also really handy especially if you operate in larger bodies of water or congested areas, being able to monitor multiple channels can be a big help if it's your only radio on the vessel. Edit: Hadlock posted:25w is enough to hail the ISS as they fly overhead. Totally serious they only fly at an altitude of about 200 miles and you have direct line of sight. 5W is enough  Edit 2: With DSC on a handheld you can radio Hadlock's boat from the tiki bar ashore and ask if he has Edit 3: Hadlock posted:
 what handheld is 25W? Do you have a battery cart for the thing? FCC says max ERP for a handheld is 6W and 25W for a fixed station.. might wanna double check your handheld specs
