Helping Budget $ailor$ -&- How To Build A Ditch - (The Sailor Samaritan Charity)
I have a charity that is helping budget sailors in need. I call it the “Sailor Samaritan Charity”. Together with the generous support of Island Water World(a major boating supply store in the Caribbean), I’ve been able to help my first sailor. So I started with my friend and fellow sailing YouTuber Huub, from “Huub’s VLog”.
After filming an emergency life raft video together. Huub told me he didn’t have a ditch bag. I was a bit scared for him, so I made sure he’d be the first to benefit from this charity program. Together we took the dinghy right up to Island Water World and picked out everything we’d need.
This is the final ditch kit/ditch bag list we built for Huub. And I put it in order of what I think is most important.
1. EPIRB(Emergency Position-Indicating RadioBeacon)
2. Handheld VHF Radio
3. Waterproof Head Lamp
4. Medical Kit
5. 12ga Flair Gun & shells
6. Multi tool
7. Water Bottles
8. Emergency Blanket
9. Handheld Flair
10. Rope
11. Emergency duct tape
12. Air Horn
13. Signal Mirror
14. Compass
15. Rash guard
16. Buff
17. Sun block
18. Whistle
19. Snacks
20. Glow Sticks
All items contained within a Highfield brand bright orange 30L Waterproof bag
If you’re interested in or know someone who needs something on their boat. Here’s how to apply:
Send me an email to [email protected] Let me know what’s going on and what you need. Or who you know that’s in need and how to get a hold of them.
Restrictions:
Though Island Water World has given me a generous amount to work with. If I’m going to help multiple sailors, I can’t buy each a big ticket item. It’s my hope that I can spread this wealth to as many sailors as possible. So don’t be shy if you’re in need of a just a small item or two. As well, I can only help those who are along my sailing route between Saint Martin and Grenada that I can meet and take to an Island Water World store.
Huub is just the first of many sailors I’m keen to help. I can’t wait to hear from you!
Cheers!
