Always be prepared for anything when you travel whether it’s just around the corner or far, far away. When you go camping or boating you should have an emergency kit with you. On a boat you should also have a radio, in case of an Offshore Injury, so you can contact the coast guard because the farther out you go, in the ocean, the less likely the chance will be that your cell phone will have service.
Granted it’s not the best time of the year here on the east coast of the United States but in other parts of the world it’s warmer weather. Regardless of the weather you should carry blankets and other safety items with you.
