for a 1,000 miles, enough beer, booze and food so we are not thirsty and don't turn cannible? But I'd have to call the coast guard to get a real list but I'd like to have life jackets a raft and a radio...at the very least...but i have to pack all my shoes for a trip that long and i'm afraid i wouldn't have room for the radio

Yes, all the answers above are correct. But here's a link. Remember to be safe when out in the sun though!

Where are the towns you mentioned. US? UK? and what kind of boat are you looking for? Monohull? Catamaran? Send me an e-mail or post some specifics. I am a catsailor so would have most information on multihulls. This is a pretty tight world wide community.

Bernoulli principle if you planning create a sailboat.

Depends on how long- how far.  A bottle of water and a first aid kit, sunscreen and a hoof pick are essential no matter the distance.  You can buy a small saddlebag to carry the things you need.  Oh, and insect repellant if you live in Australia.

A mask is all about the fit.  A perfect fit (strap not too tight, no water leaks -- pereferable even when you laugh or grin) is the only real criteria.  Any mask sold by a reputable shop would fit the bill.\n\nFins -- you need to decide between full foot and open heel.  My preference is open heel (more versatile -- especially for shore diving) although some prefer the full foot.  Fit is also hugely important and if you are shore diving in cold water buy your booties first.  My preference is the Apollo bio fins although there are many excellent choices out there.\n\nIn terms of torch, I think that depends on your application.  I like the Ikelite PCA, the UK SL4 and the small UK pocket light.  These would work for tropical night diving.  Anything brighter will overpower the reef.\n\nFor cold water or cave, you probably need to amp up the power a tad bit and I would look at the more heavy duty rechargeables (including canister lights).\n\nI remain a fan of the Suunto Cobra dive computer but there are *many* other great options.  Start with gas type (nitrox or air only), integration (not air integrated, hose air integaration and hoseless air integration), features and budget and go from there.\n\nTons of choices with regualtors -- start with your budget and diving environement.  I really like the scubapros but there are *many* great choices.  Rodale's Scuba Diving does do periodic gear reviews that are worth a look.\n\nWetsuit is alll about two things:  a) correct thickness for the water temp and your cold tolerance; and b) fit.\n\nWhat about a bc?

Lightspeed and several other manufacturers make good tri bikes...  go to your local bike shop and ask.  I have a few friends who ride Quintana Roo and others.  Ride safe!

I woud reccomend you use at least a 30+ lb. thrust ,if you using a bow mount trolling motor make sure its a newer model with a foot pedal.A minn kota hypredrive is the one i have on my boat and its been great especially in the wind.

A sit on top wouldn't be that safe for white water,(although great for surfing) as there is little protection, but fine for the sea. Also bear in mind..... you will get wet and there is little protection from the wind.\n\nConsider a double closed-cockpit kayak or even a tourer/sea kayak as they provide much more protection and even a little space to store fishing rods, tackle and sandwiches...\n\nhope this helps

They make a lantern hanger that cantilevers the lantern over the side of the boat. Basspro has one for 12 bucks.\n\nhttp://www.basspro.com/servlet/catalog.t...

I would take it to the shop and ask them to apply it. My only concern is that people often use rudders to compensate for bad paddling techniques, and it also changes the turning moment of the craft to the rear, so the kayak wants to pivot from the rear, not from the center. If it is to be used to compensate for a weather helm (turning upwind while paddling in a crosswind) maybe a retractable skeg would be a better alternative. The last concern is that if you are coming in with a following sea in windy weather, as your kayaks rear lifts with a wave, your rudder comes out of the water when you need it most, and that is when the craft will have a tendency to broach and tumble, which can be a real problem. The Europeans use a retractable rudder that is at least 1 meter from the aft of the boat and stays in the water at all times. Just thoughts to ponder, thanks for listening.

You mean like a boston whaler, regulator, scout? I assume? What do you mean?  They are easy to operate just never drive straight over the wake, hit it at angle and lower your speed. You drive them like a car. Slow down for sailboats, they have the right away, donot drown them. I guess this answers your question.  No offense but I will be watching out for you in the waterway...lol
