Boat prep

First... I blow it up and close the air hole... lol

Plenty of line. I carry over 350' of 3/8" line with two anchors and chains. I set two anchors. Min of 3 to 1 scope on line. [number of feet of line out for each foot of depth] More if you have much wind, current or waves. Depth sounder. O2 bottle a must, gps so you can tell where your are to the CG. 4 to 6 down lines to clip gear off, and I use a 50' drag line with float out the stern. Just some of the things I use.

350' ... I'm impressed. But, in anything but the calmist weather I don't think 3 to 1 is nearly enough scope.

My dive flag is 6 x 9 and I hoist it in the main halyard. It's designed to be so big that it scares people away.
