From a discussion with a friend the idea was bounced around concerning what kind of things to carry for first aid on boats. It seems that different levels of care would be called for at different levels of cruising.
On Moonstruck we do mostly coastal cruising and island hopping. Probably the longest open water we do is about 165 miles. We do sometimes wind up in remote areas that would take a little time for help to arrive. So, we probably carry more than a weekend cruiser.
With that in mind here is some of the stuff we carry on Moonstruck.
[*]A midgrade OSHA first aid kit with the usual bandages, ointments, and disinfactants
[*]Peroxide
[*]Alcohol
[/LIST]
I have probably left some out, but you probably can tell that it is just for mid level care. It will be interesting to know what some of you are prepared for. I know that there are a few doctors in the group that would probably laugh at the level of care that we could give. It will also be interesting to see what they carry in thier kits.
