Can I ask the experienced boaters where is the best place to go for all of this?
Thanks very much for your advice!

I'll second Parafunalia as a good place to go to get all the "stuff" mentioned so far. I've scratched my brain to see if anything I normally carry has yet to be mentioned and the important items have been. "Mee" chimed in that perhaps some emergency foul weather gear (ie - ponchos is what we have) might be a good idea. I'll add that something to dry your glasses off is good to have as well. Now if you're boating at night I'd add a few other details but I think you'll well served so far in this thread.
