A houseboat equipment list ,
do I NEED IT, or WANT IT ?
When it comes to houseboat equipment, it's a never ending story, and there's always something new and exciting that we want added to our shopping list, and boy am I speaking from experience about houseboat equipment.
The strugggling with, "do I NEED it, or do I WANT it," theory. There's a certain amount of responsibility placed on the Skipper, to do be sure that his crew and guests, enjoy the outing or trip, and that they get back safe and sound.
I've come to realize that a "true" captain will always be on the lookout,
for better ways of doing things for his crew, and passengers.
Did I say passengers? I meant family and friends... :)
The "NEED IT or WANT IT," items fall into
basically three houseboat equipment categories,
SAFETY, NAVIGATION, COMFORT ...
- Safety
covers items like, First Aid, Life jackets, Smoke-Fire-Vapor detectors, Bilge-Engine alarms, Flares & Signalling...
- Navigation
covers items like, VHF radios, GPS's, Charts,
Compass, Radar, AutoPilots, Instruments, Software...
- Comfort
covers items like, Clothing, Ventilation & Cooling,
Binoculars, WaterSports, Inflatable Dinghys...
