I carry a bottle of rum in memory of rummy for those dark and stormy nights.

Chris suggested a spare tiller.   Figuring that there is a good story to
follow, it raised the question taught by experience:   What gear do people
keep in their boats?

I have a set of wooden bungs, a hand pump plus the electric bilge pump (and
enough hose to extend into the centerboard pennant scupper from the bilge),
crescent wrench, needle nose pliers, regular pliers, and a 4 bit screwdriver
set.   This provides the tools needed to trailer launch.  I also have a
spark plug wrench, sail tape, gray tape, heavy needles and thread, spare
pins, rings and anchor shackle, a couple lengths of spare line plus my
anchor line, decent but low value binoculars, and a sailing knife.    I keep
a cheap waterproof flashlight with strobe hanging in the cabin.   There is a
boat hook and paddle under the cockpit seat, the PO had mounted galvanized
cleats like people use to hang tools in the garage to the underside, and the
lazarete bulkhead holds the other end.    Of course I have the required
flares, extinguishers, flag, and air horn.  I do not have a second anchor.

When loaded up for a vacation I add the hiking first aid kit (with skin
stapler), a buck knife that doubles for meat, relevant charts (not
waterproof, just printed from the gov bookcharts.   I just need to remember
if shore should be on the left or right after all), a portable radio and an
Ipad for navigation plus chargers.  I also rig a life line and have a couple
single tether harnesses and use the compass that the PO mounted to a
companionway splashboard for cruising.

What has experience taught you to carry?
