With kids safety at sea is our first priority. 

We heard Lynn and Larry Pardey say that "The best protection is good seamanship. There is no substitute for making good decisions early when offshore." Annapolis Boat show seminar 2011

Like most of you we carry the commonly found safety items. Things like life jackets with whistles, an air horn, foul weather gear, safety harnesses, life ring, flares,etc.

We were fortunate in that the boat we purchased out of charter had a split back stay rigged with a tuner for SSB radio. The SSB has proven to be one of the best purchases we have made because we can email family from almost anywhere and receive weather grib files.

We look forward to working with fellow cruisers, honing our offshore skills and sharing experiences.
