Safety Equipment Has Arrived!

Since Distant Horizon is nearly ready and just waiting for me to return from Virginia, I started ordering safety equipment.

Typically the list of required safety equipment is fairly short for a boat on the Great Lakes.
  • One PFD for each person on board
  • One Type V, throwable type of PFD
  • Two Marine Type USCG B-I Fire Extinguishers
  • Three combination (day/night) red flares
  • A sufficient way to make a sound signal, not a human voice

However, when considering an ocean voyage, the list grows rapidly. When I arrived home on Friday, this is what was waiting for me by the front door.
More is on the way. :-)
