Ditch bag
What is in your ditch bag?
Also, I've frequently seen "passports" on this list... Do people get duplicates for this? Or do they get in and out of the ditch bag frequently?

When making an
offshore
passage
, we seal wallets, passports and personal
medical
information (if applicable) in ziploc bags and put them in the ditch bag. I keep them out when island hopping.
