Alex, I know you have other priorities / bigger things going on in your life but are you ready to reveal the reason for this thread or do we need to wait for when Santa arrives?
Just upgraded to a HH VHF/DSC radio with GPS that floats and also uses regular batteries
I know the radio works because it has already gone swimming in the Chesapeake Bay😱
I now carry a telescoping fishing net to retrieve things out of the water.
Added a Bimini Top, you could also use an umbrella. It makes being out on the boat much nicer and offers protection from sun and rain
Added a small spear gun
I also pack things like cloths and extra batteries in a food saver type bag.
I use my food saver/ seal a meal machine to make custom bags to keep everything airtight and waterproof.
Not to mention it takes up less space.
