First Aid Kit

A first aid kit is essential.

You can purchase a kit at most hardware, drug or department stores or you can make up your own.

Often at Boat Shows, there will be vendors that sell first aid items individually.

Be sure your first aid kit is well equipped for all emergencies. Include the following:

  • regular Band-Aids and bandages
  • Chlortripolon© for bee stings
  • alcohol wipe
  • antibiotic cream
  • Vitamin E cream for sunburns
  • cortisone cream in case of poison ivy
  • Imodium©
  • Tylenol 3© for pain caused by fracture.
  • A small scalpel comes in handy if anyone is accidentally hooked by a fish hook.
