GordMay once whispered in the wind:
I always carry a rigged dinghy anchor (about 80' rode - 75' rope + 5' chain), oars, bailer, flashlight, whistle, and a couple of fenders & docklines - and often a small tool kit. I’ve spent an (unintended) night anchored out (Bahamas) in the dinghy, and would have appreciated a blanket or jacket.
FWIW,

Don't tell me that May had kicked you out of the house/boat.
Back to dinghy's. Also if you radio to the marina, they may tell you the procedure at their location. The back side of fuel docks is common here but some no way. I too, carry a long SS cable to lock up the dinghy.
And yes on the oars. I broke a shear pin on the out board once and it was a relief that I had the cheap breakdown oars otherwise I would have had to swim. The wind was blowing me farther away from the boat................_/)
