If I’m taking any prescription drugs, I bring these along as well as extra prescriptions from my doctor in case I lose the meds or need more when on the road. To be on the safe side, you may want to keep the meds in their original containers so you don’t have trouble with Coastguard inspections.


I am sure that the safety conscious members of this board could fill in the gaps for me for a complete kit as I am sure I have overlooked some things.


Hope this helps.
