Much has been posted recently on the contents of safety kits. I'm suprised
no one's mentioned a compass. I've got one I use diving that can be removed
from its wristband to be placed in my kit. I'm sure the Coasties would
more than appreciate rescuees giving them bearings, eg "My current location
is 280 from SFO tower by 190 from Coyote Pt harbor entrance". It would also
help them in a search when you can see the boat or chopper but they haven't
spotted you.
