I second John R's suggestion. Get a small ditch Bag (ACR)
You can put all your safety gear in one place and take it with you in case you have to abandon ship. (the ditch bag floats and has a strap to attrach to your life jacket)
I put the handheld vhf, gps,flares,mirror, whistle, pfd (only one), flashligh,strobe light, and have it ready in 30 seconds.
I couldn't remember all the lockers (not many on a 21' CC) that had safety gear in them. I'm all lot more comfortable with the ditch bag on board.
Let's see: my life or a ditch bag
Let's all be a little safer this year than last year
tight lines !
