How many of you guys have a handheld vhf that floats or one in a waterproof floating case? Even better if it has a built-in GPS. A Ditch bag is a must!!! I have one.

A good idea to keep a spare pump aboard with a set of long power leads with alligator clamps and/or a 12 volt accessory plug and a hose ready to go. Make your it fits in the area its going to be needed and be the biggest gallons per hour.
Good thing it was August with warm waters, but what about sharks? Lots to think about after that video.
