1. After experience, knowledge and fitness, I'd put planning and information, because with that come the decision that puts you in harm's way–or not. Might even have put good clothes and water before some of the technology, providing you have navigation capability. Redundant communications/navigation become more important the more remote and committed you are.

2. It seems a very valid list of items. Please consider adding a corkscrew and a bottle of Chateauneuf du pape. It will not save your life but it will soften the time in case you would have to wait for help 😇

3. Great show today

4. Could you tell me what watch you’re wearing? Noticed it in your video and looks nice.

5. What about something to make drinking water? Fishing gear?

6. 👍
   A great presentation!

7. 1974 SOLAS Convention, Master Class Mr. Mulholand 💯

8. What drive type do you use on wood screws mate ? Multi tool a superb item but keeping all of them dry will be a challenge. Buy boxes with seals and some silica crystals stuff (those little bags that always, for some odd reason, say "do not eat" on them…. )

9. Alan, there is a point I'd also like to make on your Wave Rover II. She's built to take a bad wave. Her over cabin structure and strength would take a breaking wave…over engineered…wonderful to see.

10. This was a great video Alan! Thanks for making it!

    There was couple of things that came in mind.

    First is this kind of gooy thick paste that is sold in small bucket-like containers that are very quick to squish in smallish hole in the boat. Let’s say around 10cm in diameter max. It shuts the leak initially and very fast so that you can make better repair easier.

    Second thing is markup smoke. That could be very useful on big seas and small boat.

    And finally, i think it was Yachting Monthly that did a test how you can reduce even quite big leak from the outside with a sail. So I think it would be a great to have a largish piece of prepared sail (or similar thick) canvas with rings on the corners to be able to fiddle it around the hull to the outside.

    Cheers and safe travels!

    :Panu

11. Having these things almost means that you'll never need them and that's kinda the point.

12. And if all that doesn't work, grab your ankles and kiss your _ goodby. Lets hope it never gets to the first device.

13. Also for US registered vessels, flying the US flag upside down is a distress signal.

14. I ordered the flashlight.

15. Excellent advise
    Great video.

16. Great video as always Allen!! Have you considered a PLB attached to your life preserver? You won’t be able to get to the EPIRB if you fall in and the boat is sailing away without you.

17. I would prefer the epirb mounted externally in a float free box if it was me,

18. Excellent as always Allan. Question: how much actual chart plotting are you doing (vs navionics)

19. Have you also done a safety test?

20. no storm Drogue? Seabrake works well and is simple and packs down small

21. I might add lanyards to things that may be used on Deck

22. I used to be in the Swedish SAR Society and we have a VHF tracker on most covered vessels and it can mark the heading to a communicating VHF for example a hand held VHF in the water talking to us. I guess most SAR organisations around the world have these. On the subject of things to bring when you don't have a life raft, a quite large piece of sail cloth with ropes in the corners to be pulled under the hull to stop a leaking hole from the outside using the water pressure to seal the hole. This can actually block quite a large hole if tied up properly.

23. Great advice there Alan, especially regarding balance and mental health. Out on the ocean you're on you own so you need to know what to do and be able to do in a challenging situation.

24. I can’t remember which one it was, but the correct mindset/attitude is my favorite. Your last video you mentioned the seas were “spirited“. It seas like that. That’s a great description for the seas instead of rough or terrible!

25. Thanks interesting video. By any chance do you have a emergency space blanket onboard?

26. An excellent, informative video, Alan. But I'm a little surprised you don't carry a liferaft. Whilst I understand your desire to stay with Wave Rover II as long as the situation permits – and to do everything possible to keep her afloat – I don't understand why that precludes keeping a liferaft aboard just in case. Is it a space issue? But I'd have thought that you'd have room somewhere onboard for a compact liferaft (like Ocean Safety's Aero Compact two-man liferaft). Surely more options are better wherever possible?
