An ad popped up on FB for a "boaters" first aid kit for a ridiculous
price of $200+. The wee orange Pelican box was probably half the cost,
but I digress.
Concerning inland and coastal sailing, it made me wonder what should be
in a marine FAK? From my limited experience, I'd say the items that it
should cover are (to start):
Fingers getting smashed/pinched (band-aids)
Rope burns
Cuts/scrapes
Headache/nausea
Dehydration
Exposure (heat related)
Sun protection (sunscreen)
Any thoughts?
