16) ⚠️ HIGH WIND ALERT 🌬️
Just a heads up for any Posse cruisers coming to Santa Marta marina in Colombia. Be sure to have sufficient lines and chafing gear. The winds inside the marina blow 20-30 knots g 40 on a fairly regular basis. There are often white caps inside the breakwater. Other than that, Colombia is a wonderful country and extremely inexpensive. Happy holidays!
When we prepared Avant for offshore six years ago, we looked carefully at what we would pack for first aid preparedness. We could easily imagine a wide range of scenarios where one or the other of us, or another cruiser or local, was injured (grievously), and needed first aid in an inconvenient, remote location. You know, unconscious bleeding from a compound fracture surrounded by crocodiles while darkness falls in some mangrove swamp, or something like that. We determined that:
We needed to be able to react to a broad variety of potential medical emergencies quickly and comprehensively;
That we would likely be short handed in responding (so the response would have to be easily transported by one person);
That the emergency may happen aboard Avant, aboard another vessel, or ashore so we would need to be able to move the appropriate materials for response to the injured person, and then move the injured person from the site of the incident back to Avant or from the site of the incident to another place for treatment or evacuation;
That we would be at least hours, and might be days or even weeks from professional medical facilities and professional medical help (so we would need enough supplies to treat issues for a prolonged period with instructions on how to use them);
That there were ‘levels’ of response that would be appropriate, so segregating supplies into appropriate kits suited to different levels of response would make sense; and
We would need reference materials suited to the kind of ‘medicine’ we would be practicing.
Before you carry on reading, please note that we’re over prepared. Period!
First, we looked for organizations that had worked systematically to solve this set of problems so we could emulate their methods and techniques. The military immediately came to mind, as they have applied science and rigour to responding to emergency medical situations in rustic locations (although they admittedly seem to focus on gunshot wounds and extreme blunt force trauma as the primary sources of injury). We also read up on mountaineering and other wilderness response experiences, and found the ‘prepper’ community had many guidelines, tips and resources that seemed useful. The Ministry of Transport in the UK also had relevant resources. While many sources suggested that buying supplies separately would be cheaper than buying a kit, we found the reverse to be true, and that the kits we looked at offered value as well as convenience.
So after our obsessive research, we equipped ourselves with a simple ‘boo-boo kit’ for day to day stuff.
This is the type of kit you see in a larger drug store, Costco, Walmart, or some other big box store. You can buy them online at Canadian Safety Supplies. They are also available from the Red Cross, St Johns Ambulance or similar organizations online. It’s portable, so we don’t have to drip blood on the way to the bandaids; soft sided so it’s easy to store, and reasonably comprehensive for small injuries. It unzips and flops open to display the contents when in use. There is plenty of room in the carry bag to augment the contents.

Hello! My husband Fabio, pup Yoda and I are new to the Panama Posse and South Pacific Posse so I figured I’d say hello. 😊 We’ve been on the Caribbean side of Panama since June, had our boat hauled at Linton Bay to do work, spent some time in San Blas and are now at Red Frog in Bocas del Toro.
We’re planning to transit the canal at the end of January, then cross the Pacific probably in March. We’d love to connect with other group members!
We do have a YouTube channel and have documented our time in Panama. We’ve tried to provide helpful information so take a look if you’re interested in learning more cruising the Caribbean side of Panama.
Sevenstar is the world’s leading provider of yacht shipping services on a lift-on, lift-off basis.
