Preparing for the Worst: Essential Items for Abandoning Ship

What happens if the boat sinks? 🚨⛵️🌊

First, let’s all cross our fingers I never have to experience this. But it’s ALWAYS better to be prepared…

There’s a saying, you should always step UP 👆into your liferaft. Only abandon ship if you are 100% sure it’s going to sink. Believe it or not, you have much better chance of survival by staying on your half-floating boat than you do in a liferaft.

So what do I bring with me if my boat is sinking? ✅

I’ve prepped two dry bags of everything vital I’ll need, here’s what’s inside:
Seapcks (emergency water kit) 💧
Passport 🌎
Emergency food rations & dark chocolate
Sunscreen @utuskincare ☀️
Personal Locator Beacon @acr 🚨
Garmin inReach
Fishing kit 🐟
Mini towel
Rain hat ⛈️
Magnetic compass
More snacks 🤤
Good luck charm ✅

Anything I missed that I should bring? 🙏
